QuestionPhysics / magnetism
A current carrying circular loop having n number of turns per unit length has a current I through it. If the current through it and the number of turns per unit length are doubled, then the magnetic field at the centre of the loop will:
- (a) remain same.
- (b) increase by four times.
- (c) increase by two times.
- (d) decrease by two times.
Answer: (b) increase by four times.
B at the centre ∝ n × I. Doubling both: B′ = (2n)(2I) ∝ 4 × B → four times.
