    Two identical wires A and B have the same length L and carry the same current \[I\]. 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\[{{B}_{1}}/{{B}_{2}}\]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                 \[\frac{{{B}_{1}}}{{{B}_{2}}}={\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}\pi I}{L}}/{\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}I}{4\pi L}\times \frac{64}{\sqrt{2}}}\;\] \[=\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{8\sqrt{2}}\]
