    A circular coil carrying a certain current produces a magnetic field \[{{B}_{0}}\] at its centre. The coil is now rewound so as to have 3 turns and the same current is passed through it. The new magnetic field at the centre is

    A)  \[\frac{{{B}_{0}}}{9}\]                                  

    B)  \[9\,{{B}_{0}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{B}_{0}}}{3}\]                                  

    D)  \[3\,{{B}_{0}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The magnetic field produced at the centre of the circular coil carrying current is given by                 \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}NI}{2\,r}\] For one turn       \[N=1\]                                 \[{{B}_{0}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}I}{2\,r}\] As the coil is rewound                 \[r'=\frac{r}{3},\,N'=3\] \[\therefore \]  \[B'=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}I\times 3}{2\times \left( \frac{r}{3} \right)}\]                 \[=\frac{9\,{{\mu }_{0}}\,I}{2\,r}=9\,{{B}_{0}}\]
