$A$ length $L$ of wire carries a steady current $I$. It is bent first to form a circular plane coil of one turn. The same length is now bent more sharply to give a double loop of smaller radius. The magnetic field at the centre caused by the same current is

  • A
    $A$ quarter of its first value
  • B
    Unaltered
  • C
    Four times of its first value
  • D
    $A$ half of its first value

$A$ current loop consists of two identical semicircular parts each of radius $R,$ one lying in the $x-y$ plane and the other in the $x-z$ plane. If the current in the loop is $i,$ the resultant magnetic field due to the two semicircular parts at their common centre is

Two circular coils $1$ and $2$ are made from the same wire. The radius of the first coil is twice that of the second coil. What is the ratio of potential difference applied across them $V_1 / V_2$,so that the magnetic field at their centre is the same?
