Two circular coils 1 and 2 are made from the same wire but the radius of the 1st coil is twice that of the 2nd coil. What potential difference in volts should be applied across them so that the magnetic field at their centres is the same
-
- 4
- 6
- 2
- 3
- None
Correct Option: E
If R1 & R2 be the radius of the circular wires,R1/R2 = 1/2. If same potential is applied on them, current in Ist will be half that in the later. If V potential is applied on them, current in them
= | & | |||
2R | R |
Now magnetic field at the centre of circular coil,
= | |
2r |
For first wire, field B1 = | |
2R × 2R |
For second wire, field B2 = | |
2(R/2) × R |
Given B1 = B2
The given data do not provide any required result. There is a mistake in the framing of the question.
