BX and BY are the magnetic field at the centre of two coils X and Y, respectively each carrying equal current. If coil X has 200 turns and 20 cm radius and coil Y has 400 turns and 20 cm radius, the ratio of BX and BY is
- 1:1
- 1:2
- 2:1
- 4:1
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
\(B=\frac {μ_0NI}{2R}\)
\(\frac {B_x}{B_y}=\frac {N_xR_y}{N_yR_x}\)
\(\frac {B_x}{B_y}=\frac {200×20}{400×20}\)
\(\frac {B_x}{B_y}=\frac 12\)
So, the correct option is (B): \(1:2\)

Magnetic Field
The magnetic field is a field created by moving electric charges. It is a force field that exerts a force on materials such as iron when they are placed in its vicinity. Magnetic fields do not require a medium to propagate; they can even propagate in a vacuum. Magnetic field also referred to as a vector field, describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, magnetic materials, and electric currents.
A magnetic field can be presented in two ways.
- Magnetic Field Vector: The magnetic field is described mathematically as a vector field. This vector field can be plotted directly as a set of many vectors drawn on a grid. Each vector points in the direction that a compass would point and has length dependent on the strength of the magnetic force.
- Magnetic Field Lines: An alternative way to represent the information contained within a vector field is with the use of field lines. Here we dispense with the grid pattern and connect the vectors with smooth lines.
Properties of Magnetic Field Lines
- Magnetic field lines never cross each other
- The density of the field lines indicates the strength of the field
- Magnetic field lines always make closed-loops
- Magnetic field lines always emerge or start from the north pole and terminate at the south pole.
