    Two concentric circular coils of ten turns each are situated in the same plane. Their radii are 20 cm and 40 cm and they carry respectively 0.2 A and 0.3 A currents in opposite direction. The magnetic field in tesla at the centre is

    A)  \[35{{\mu }_{0}}/4\]

    B)  \[{{\mu }_{0}}/80\]

    C)  \[7{{\mu }_{0}}/80\]         

    D)  \[5{{\mu }_{0}}/4\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Magnetic field at the centre of circular coil of n turns and radius r is                 \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}ni}{2\,r}\] For first coil; \[{{B}_{1}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}n{{i}_{1}}}{2{{r}_{1}}}\] For second coil; \[{{B}_{2}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}n{{i}_{2}}}{2{{r}_{2}}}\] Hence, resultant magnetic field at the centre of concentric loop is                 \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}n{{i}_{1}}}{2{{r}_{1}}}-\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}n{{i}_{2}}}{2{{r}_{2}}}\] Given,   \[n=10,\,{{i}_{1}}=0.2A,\,\,{{r}_{1}}=20\,cm=0.20\,m\]                 \[{{i}_{2}}=0.3\,A,\,{{r}_{2}}=40\,cm=0.40\,m\]. \[\therefore \]\[B={{\mu }_{0}}\left[ \frac{10\times 0.2}{2\times 0.20}-\frac{10\times 0.3}{2\times -0.40} \right]=\frac{5}{4}{{\mu }_{0}}\]
