MHT CET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A current passing through a circular coil of two turns produces a magnetic field \(B\) as its centre. The coil is then rewound so as to have four turns and the same current is passed through it. The magnetic field at its centre now is

  1. A \(2 B\)
  2. B \(B / 2\)
  3. C \(B / 4\)
  4. D \(4 B\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 B\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to questions
\(
\begin{array}{l}
2 \times 2 \pi_{1}=4 \times 2 \pi r_{2} \\
r_{1}=2 r_{2} \\
\text { and } \quad B_{1}=\frac{\mu_{0} 2 \pi I}{4 \pi r_{1}} \\
B_{2}=\frac{\mu_{0} 2 \pi I}{4 \pi r_{2}}=\frac{\mu_{0} 2 \pi I}{4 \pi r_{1} / 2} \\
B_{2}=2 B_{1}
\end{array}
