Consider a circular current carrying conducting coil. |
If the radius of a current carrying coil is halved keeping the current unchanged, what happens to the magnetic field directed along its axis at far off points? |
becomes one-fourth increases four times halved doubled |
becomes one-fourth |
Magnetic field due to a current carrying loop at a point far-off : B = \(\frac{\mu_{o}}{4\pi}\) \(\frac{2nIA}{x^{3}}\) n : no. of turns in the coil I : current through the coil A : Area of the coil As radius increases to double the value, the area of coil quadruples. |
