Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x / 8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \begin{aligned} & \text { Hints: } \mathrm{B}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{2 a} \quad \quad \mathrm{M}=\mathrm{I}\left(\pi a^2\right) \\ & \frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{M}}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{2 a} \times \frac{1}{\mathrm{I} \pi a^2}=\frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi a^3}=x \end{aligned} \]…
