A long wire carrying a steady current is bent into a circular loop of one turn. The magnetic field at the centre of the loop is B. It is then bent into a circular coil of n turns. The magnetic field at the centre of this coil of n turns will be
  1. nB
  2. n2B
  3. 2nB
  4. 2n2B

Solution

B=μ0I2r.

When n turns are made, radius becomes r.

n×2πr=2πrr=rn.

Now, B=μ0nI2r=n2μ0I2r=n2B.
