Two circular coils made from same wire but radius of $1^{\text {st }}$ coil is twice that of $2^{\text {nd }}$ coil. If magnetic field at their centres is same then ratio of potential difference applied across them is $\left(1^{\text {st }}\right.$ to $2^{\text {nd }}$ coil)
  1. $2$
  2. $3$
  3. $4$
  4. $6$

Solution

Magnetic fields at the centre of the coils are equal. $\therefore \quad \frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2 r_1}=\frac{\mu_0 I_2}{2 r_2}$ $\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{I}_1}{\mathrm{I}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{r}_1}{\mathrm{r}_2}=\frac{2 \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{r}}$....(given $r_1=2 r_2$ ) $\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{I}_1}{\mathrm{I}_2}=2$...(ii) The resistance through the coil, $\mathrm{R} \propto l$ Here, $l=2 \pi \mathrm{r}$ $\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{R}_1}{\mathrm{R}_2}=\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{r}_1}{2 \pi \mathrm{r}_2}=2$...(ii) $\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{V}_1}{\mathrm{~V}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_1 \mathrm{R}_1}{\mathrm{I}_2 \mathrm{R}_2}=2 \times 2=4$ [From (i) and (ii)]
