  1. A \(\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{NI}}{2 \mathrm{R}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{NI}}{\sqrt{2} \mathrm{R}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{NI}}{2 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{R}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{NI}}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{NI}}{\sqrt{2} \mathrm{R}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic field due to one coil: \(B_c = \frac{\mu_0 NI}{2R}\) Total magnetic field: \(B_{total} = \sqrt{B_c^2 + B_c^2} = B_c \sqrt{2}\)
