A current carrying circular coil of radius ' R ' produces magnetic fields ' \(\mathrm{B}_1\) ' and ' \(\mathrm{B}_2\) ' at an axial point ' P ' at a distance ' x ' from its centre and at a point ' \(Q\) ' placed at its centre respectively. If \(B_1=\frac{B_2}{8}\), the value of ' \(x\) ' is

  1. A \(\mathrm{R} \sqrt{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2 \sqrt{3}}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{3 R}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{R} \sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( B_1 = \frac{\mu_0 I R^2}{2 (R^2 + x^2)^{3/2}} \) \( B_2 = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 R} \)
