A long wire carries a steady current. It is bent into a coil of one turn such that magnetic induction at centre is \(B\), then same wire is bent to from a coil of smaller radius of \(n\) turns such that magnetic induction at centre is \(B\), then

  1. A \(B^{\prime}=B / n^2\)
  2. B \(B^{\prime}=n B\)
  3. C \(B^{\prime}=B\)
  4. D \(B^{\prime}=n^2 B\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(B^{\prime}=n^2 B\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Initially, \(B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 r}\)
For coil with smaller radius \(r^{\prime}=\frac{r}{n}\), such that \(2 \pi r=n\left(2 \pi r^{\prime}\right)\) :
\(\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow B^{\prime}=n\left(\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 r^{\prime}}\right)=\frac{\mu_0 n I}{2(r / n)} \\
& \Rightarrow B^{\prime}=n^2 B
\end{aligned}\)
