Two circular coils X and Y, having equal number of turns and carrying currents in the same sense, subtend same solid angle at point O. If the smaller coil X is midway between O and Y and if we represent the magnetic induction due to bigger coil Y at O as `B_y` and the due to smaller coil X at O as `B_x`,then find the ratio `B_x//B_y`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(a) the smaller coil; (b) `1//2`
