The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the magnetic field at the center of a circular loop of wire when it is bent into `n` turns from its original single turn configuration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Magnetic Field for One Turn**: The magnetic field at the center of a circular loop of wire carrying a current `I` is given by the formula: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} \] where \( R \) is the radius of the loop and \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space. 2. **Given Magnetic Field for One Turn**: According to the problem, when the wire is bent into a single turn (one loop), the magnetic field at the center is given as \( B \). Therefore, we can express this as: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} \] 3. **Length of the Wire**: The length of the wire used to form the single turn is the circumference of the circle: \[ L = 2\pi R \] 4. **Bending the Wire into `n` Turns**: When the wire is bent into `n` turns, the total length of the wire remains the same. The new radius \( R' \) for the `n` turns can be calculated using the total length of the wire: \[ L = n \cdot 2\pi R' = 2\pi R \] From this, we can solve for \( R' \): \[ R' = \frac{R}{n} \] 5. **Magnetic Field for `n` Turns**: The magnetic field at the center of the new circular loop with `n` turns can be expressed as: \[ B' = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R'} \] Substituting \( R' = \frac{R}{n} \) into this equation gives: \[ B' = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \left(\frac{R}{n}\right)} = \frac{\mu_0 I n}{2R} \] 6. **Relating \( B' \) to \( B \)**: We can relate \( B' \) to the original magnetic field \( B \): \[ B' = n \cdot \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} = nB \] 7. **Final Result**: Thus, the magnetic field at the center of the coil when the wire is bent into `n` turns is: \[ B' = nB \] ### Summary: The magnetic field at the center of the coil when the wire is bent into `n` turns is \( B' = nB \).
