Question
A straight wire of length (π2) metre is carrying a current of 2A and the magnetic field due to it is measured at a point distant 1 cm from it. If the wire is to be bent into a circle and is to carry the same current as before, the ratio of the magnetic field at its centre to that obtained in the first case would be
Options:
A .  50 : 1
B .  1 : 50
C .  100 : 1
D .  1 : 100
Answer: Option B
:
B
If a wire of length l is bant in the form of a circle of radius r then
2πr=lr=l2π
F=i(L×B)
Magnetic field due to straight wire B1=μ04π.2ir=μ04π×2×21×102 also magnetic
field due to circular loop B2=μ04π.2πir=μ04π.2π×2π/2B2B1=150
