MHT CET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current
A long wire is bent into a circular coil of one turn and then into a circular coil of smaller radius having \(\mathrm{n}\) turns. If the same current passes in both the cases, the ratio of magnetic fields produced at the centre for one turn to that of \(n\) turns is
- A \(1:n\)
- B \(n:1\)
- C \(1:n^2\)
- D \(n^2:1\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(1:n^2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Magnetic field at the centre of coil is,
\(\mathrm{B}_1=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{2 \mathrm{r}_1}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Magnetic field of \(\mathrm{n}\) turns coil at the centre:
\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{B}_2=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{nI}}{2 \mathrm{r}_2} \\
\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{B}_1}{\mathrm{~B}_2} & =\frac{\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{2 \mathrm{r}_1}}{\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{nI}}{2 \mathrm{r}_2}}=\frac{\mathrm{r}_2}{\mathrm{nr}_1}
\end{aligned}\)
But, radius: \(r_1=\frac{1}{2 \pi}\) and \(r_2=\frac{1}{2 \pi n}\)
\(\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore & \frac{\mathrm{r}_2}{\mathrm{r}_1}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}} \\
\therefore & \frac{\mathrm{B}_1}{\mathrm{~B}_2}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}^2}
\end{array}\)
\(\mathrm{B}_1=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{2 \mathrm{r}_1}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Magnetic field of \(\mathrm{n}\) turns coil at the centre:
\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{B}_2=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{nI}}{2 \mathrm{r}_2} \\
\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{B}_1}{\mathrm{~B}_2} & =\frac{\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{2 \mathrm{r}_1}}{\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{nI}}{2 \mathrm{r}_2}}=\frac{\mathrm{r}_2}{\mathrm{nr}_1}
\end{aligned}\)
But, radius: \(r_1=\frac{1}{2 \pi}\) and \(r_2=\frac{1}{2 \pi n}\)
\(\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore & \frac{\mathrm{r}_2}{\mathrm{r}_1}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}} \\
\therefore & \frac{\mathrm{B}_1}{\mathrm{~B}_2}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}^2}
\end{array}\)
