Question 57 of 276

BX{B}_{X} and BY{B}_{Y} are the magnetic field at the centre of two coils of two coils XX and YY respectively, each carrying equal current. If coil XX has 200200 turns and 20cm20cm radius and coil YY has 400400 turns and 20cm20cm radius, the ratio of BX{B}_{X} and BY{B}_{Y} is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (B) 1:21:2

Magnetic field at the centre of a single coil is B=μ0i2RB=\dfrac{{\mu }_{0}i}{2R}
If
NN number of loops are kept closely B=N(μ0i2R)B=N\left(\dfrac{{\mu }_{0}i}{2R}\right)
Therefore,

BxBy=NxNy\dfrac{{B}_{x}}{{B}_{y}}=\dfrac{{N}_{x}}{{N}_{y}}
⇒BxBy=12\Rightarrow \dfrac{{B}_{x}}{{B}_{y}}=\dfrac{1}{2}
