    A wire of given length is first bent in a single circular loop. Next, it is bent in three loops. If the same current is passed in both the cases, the ratio of magnetic fields (in the first to the second situation) at their centers is

    A)  9                 

    B)  \[1/3\]

    C)  \[1/4\] 

    D)  \[1/9\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    : Field at the centre of a circular coil \[=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}ni}{2R}\] In 1st case, length of wire\[(L)=\]circumference of a coil or \[L=2\pi R\] \[\therefore \] \[R=\frac{L}{2\pi }\]                                  ...(i) In second case, wire is bent into three loops. \[\therefore \] \[L=3\times (2\pi r)\] \[\therefore \] \[\therefore r=\frac{L}{6\pi }\]                                     ...(ii) \[\frac{{{B}_{1}}}{{{B}_{2}}}=\frac{\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}i}{2}\times \frac{2\pi }{L}}{\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}i}{2}\times \frac{3\times 6\pi }{L}}\]or\[\frac{{{B}_{1}}}{{{B}_{2}}}=\frac{2}{18}=\frac{1}{9}\]
