    Two identical wires A and B have the same length L and carry the same current \[\text{I}\] Wire A is bent into a circle of radius R and wire B is bent to form a square of side a. If \[{{B}_{1}}\] and\[{{B}_{2}}\] are the values of magnetic induction at the centre of the circle and the centre of the square respectively, then the ratio of\[{{\text{B}}_{\text{1}}}\text{/}{{\text{B}}_{\text{2}}}\] is :

    A) \[\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{8}\]                               

    B) \[\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{8\sqrt{2}}\]                

    C) \[\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{16}\]                             

    D)        \[\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{16\sqrt{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    At the centre of circle \[{{B}_{1}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }\times \frac{2\pi I}{R}\]                 or            \[{{B}_{1}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }\times \frac{2\pi I}{L/2\pi }\]                 (\[\because \,L=2\pi R\]for circular loop)                 or            \[{{B}_{1}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}\pi I}{L}\]                 ?(i) At the centre of square \[{{B}_{2}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }\times \frac{I}{a/2}[sin{{45}^{o}}+sin{{45}^{o}}]\times 4\] where \[a=L/4\] \[\ \therefore \]               \[{{B}_{2}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}I}{4\pi L}\times 8\times 4\times \left[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right]\] or            \[{{B}_{2}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}I}{4\pi L}\times \frac{64}{\sqrt{2}}\]                            ?(ii) Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we obtain \[{\frac{{{B}_{1}}}{{{B}_{2}}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}\pi I}{L}}/{\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}I}{4\pi L}\times \frac{64}{\sqrt{2}}}\;\]                 \[=\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{8\sqrt{2}}\]
