Moving Charges and Magnetism - Result Question 47

48. A coil of one turn is made of a wire of certain length and then from the same length a coil of two turns is made. If the same current is passed in both the cases, then the ratio of the magnetic inductions at their centres will be

(a) 2:1

(b) 1:4

(c) 4:1

(d) 1:2

Answer:

Correct Answer: 48. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) Let be length of wire.

Ist case : =2πrr=2π

B=μ0In2r=μ0I×2π2=μ0πI[n=1](1)

2nd Case :=2(2πr)r=4π

B=μ0In24π=2μ0Iπ2=4(μ0πI)=4B,

using (1) (where n=2 )

If a current carrying circular loop (n=1) is turned into a coil having n identical turns then magnetic field at the centre of the coil becomes n2 times the previous field i.e., B(n turn) =n2B(single turn)
