    A long wire carries a steady current. It is bent into a circle of one turn and the magnetic field at the centre of the coil is B. It is then bent into a circular loop of n turns. The magnetic field at the centre of the coil will be

    A) \[nB\]  

    B)                                        \[{{n}^{2}}B\]

    C) \[2nB\]                

    D)        \[2{{n}^{2}}B\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The magnetic field at the centre of circular coil is \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}i}{2r}\] where,\[r=\]radius of circle \[=\frac{l}{2\pi }\] \[\therefore \]  \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}i}{2}\times \frac{2\pi }{l}\]                              \[(\because l=2\pi r)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}i\pi }{l}\]                  ?.(i) When wire of length \[l\] bents into a circular loops of\[n\]turns, then \[l=n\times 2\pi r'\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[r'=\frac{l}{n\times 2\pi }\] Thus, new magnetic field \[B'=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}ni}{2r'}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}ni}{2}\times \frac{n\times 2\pi }{l}\] \[=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}i\pi }{l}\times {{n}^{2}}={{n}^{2}}B\]                             [from Eq.(i)]
