    Two concentric circular coils of ten turns each are situated in the same plane. Their radii are 20 cm and 40 cm and they carry respectively 0.2A and 0.3A currents in opposite direction. The magnetic field in tesla at the centre is

    A)  \[\text{35}{{}_{\text{0}}}\text{/4}\]                                      

    B)  \[{{}_{\text{0}}}\text{/80}\]

    C)  \[\text{7}{{}_{\text{0}}}\text{/80}\]                      

    D)         \[\text{5}{{}_{\text{0}}}\text{/4}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Magnetic field at the centre of circular coil of\[n\] turns and radius \[r\] is                                 \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}ni}{2r}\] For first coil,       \[{{B}_{1}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}n{{i}_{1}}}{2{{r}_{1}}}\] For second coil, \[{{B}_{2}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}n{{i}_{2}}}{2{{r}_{2}}}\] Hence, resultant magnetic field at the centre of concentric loop is                 \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}n{{i}_{1}}}{2{{r}_{1}}}-\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}n{{i}_{2}}}{2{{r}_{2}}}\] Given,\[n=10,\,\,{{i}_{1}}=0.2\,\,A,\,\,{{r}_{1}}=20\,\,cm=0.20\,\,m\], \[{{i}_{2}}=0.3\,\,A,\,\,{{r}_{2}}=40\,\,cm=0.40\,\,m\] \[\therefore \]  \[B={{\mu }_{0}}\left[ \frac{10\times 0.2}{2\times 0.20}-\frac{10\times 0.3}{2\times 0.40} \right]=\frac{5}{4}{{\mu }_{0}}\]
