A coil of one turn is made of a wire of certain length and then from the same length a coil of two turns is made. If the same current is passed in both the cases, then the ratio of the magnetic inductions at their centres will be
- 4 : 1
- 1 : 4
- 2 : 1
- 1 : 2
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Let l be the length of the wire, then
$B_1 = \frac{ {\mu}_0}{ 2 \pi }\cdot \frac{1 \times I }{ l /2 \pi } =\frac{ {\mu}_0 I}{ l }$
and $ B_2 = \frac{ {\mu_0}}{ 2 \pi } . \frac{2 \times I}{ l \times 4 \pi } = \frac{ 4 {\mu}_0 I}{l }$
Therefore, $ \frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{1}{4} $ or $B_1: B_2 = 1:4$
Top Questions on Moving charges and magnetism
- A particle of charge \( q \) is moving with a velocity \( \vec{v} \) at a distance \( d \) from a long straight wire carrying a current \( I \) as shown in the figure. At this instant, it is subjected to a uniform electric field \( \vec{E} \) such that the particle keeps moving undeviated. In terms of unit vectors \( \hat{i}, \hat{j}, \) and \( \hat{k} \), find:
the magnetic field \( \vec{B} \),
the magnetic force \( \vec{F}_m \), and
the electric field \( \vec{E} \) acting on the charge.

Moving Charges and Magnetism
Moving charges generate an electric field and the rate of flow of charge is known as current. This is the basic concept in Electrostatics. Another important concept related to moving electric charges is the magnetic effect of current. Magnetism is caused by the current.
Magnetism:
- The relationship between a Moving Charge and Magnetism is that Magnetism is produced by the movement of charges.
- And Magnetism is a property that is displayed by Magnets and produced by moving charges, which results in objects being attracted or pushed away.
Magnetic Field:
Region in space around a magnet where the Magnet has its Magnetic effect is called the Magnetic field of the Magnet. Let us suppose that there is a point charge q (moving with a velocity v and, located at r at a given time t) in presence of both the electric field E (r) and the magnetic field B (r). The force on an electric charge q due to both of them can be written as,
F = q [ E (r) + v × B (r)] ≡ EElectric +Fmagnetic
This force was based on the extensive experiments of Ampere and others. It is called the Lorentz force.
