Vedclass · Answer

(B) For wire $A$ (circle): The circumference is $l = 2\pi R$,so $R = \frac{l}{2\pi}$. The magnetic field at the center is $B_A = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2(l/2\pi)} = \frac{\mu_0 I \pi}{l}$.For wire $B$ (square): The perimeter is $l = 4a$,so $a = \frac{l}{4}$. The distance from the center to a side is $d = \frac{a}{2} = \frac{l}{8}$. The magnetic field at the center due to one side is $B_1 = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi d} (\sin 45^{\circ} + \sin 45^{\circ}) = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi (l/8)} (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}) = \frac{2\mu_0 I}{\pi l} \sqrt{2}$.Since there are $4$ sides,the total field is $B_B = 4 	imes B_1 = \frac{8\sqrt{2}\mu_0 I}{\pi l}$.Calculating the ratio: $\frac{B_A}{B_B} = \frac{\mu_0 I \pi / l}{8\sqrt{2}\mu_0 I / \pi l} = \frac{\pi^2}{8\sqrt{2}}$.
