A circular coil connected to a battery of emf E produced a certain magnetic induction field at its centre. The coil is unwound, stretched to double its length rewound into a coil of 1rd3 of the original radius and connected to a battery of emf E' to produce same field at the centre. Then E' is
  1. 2E9
  2. 3E7
  3. 9E4
  4. 7E4

Solution

The expression for the magnetic field at the centre of a circular
coil of n turns.

B=μ0i2rn

If length of the wire is doubled,

2 2πrn=2πr'n'

2 r n=r3n'

n'=6n

For the same field at the centre,

μ0in2r=μ0i'n'2r'

μ0in2r=μ0i 6 n2 r3

  i'=i18

Since volume will remain same.

   l×A=2l×A'

  A'=A2

The resistance after doubling the length,

R'=ρl'A'

  R'=ρ 2lA/2

 R'=4ρlA

  R'=4 R

The EMF is,

E'=i'R'

  E'=i18 4 R=29E
