    A circular coil carrying a certain current produces a magnetic Held Bp 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 \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}NI}{2r}\] For one turn \[N=1\] \[{{B}_{0}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}I}{2r}\] As the coil is rewound \[r=\frac{r}{3},N=3\] \[\therefore \] \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}I\times 3}{2\times \left( \frac{r}{3} \right)}\] \[=\frac{9{{\mu }_{0}}I}{2r}=9{{B}_{0}}\]
