Question:medium

The magnetic field at the center of circular coil carrying current '\(I\)' for a single turn of a given length of wire is '\(B\)'. The same wire is bent in a circular coil having two turns. When the same current passes through it, the value of magnetic field becomes

Show Hint

Same wire length: with \(N\) turns the radius becomes \(r/N\), so \(B\propto N^2\).

  • \(4B\)
  • \(2B\)
  • \(\frac{B}{2}\)
  • \(\frac{B}{4}\)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Combine the two effects
Doubling the turns doubles the field. Halving the radius doubles it again.

Step 2: Multiply
$2\times2=4$, so the field is $4B$, option (A).

Final Answer:
The new field is $4B$, option (A). \[ \boxed{4B} \]
