The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the magnetic field produced by a circular loop of wire carrying a current. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial Setup**: - We have a wire of length 1 meter carrying a constant current, which is bent to form a circular loop. - The magnetic field at the center of this loop is given as \( B \). 2. **Magnetic Field Formula**: - The magnetic field \( B \) at the center of a circular loop of radius \( R \) with \( N \) turns and carrying current \( I \) is given by the formula: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 N I}{2R} \] - Here, \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space. 3. **First Loop**: - For the first loop, we have \( N = 1 \) (one turn) and the length of the wire is \( 2\pi R = 1 \) meter. - Therefore, we can express the radius \( R \) as: \[ R = \frac{1}{2\pi} \] - Substituting \( N = 1 \) into the magnetic field formula gives: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} \] 4. **Second Loop**: - The wire is now bent to form a smaller circular loop with 4 turns. - Let the new radius be \( R' \). The total length of the wire remains the same, so: \[ 2\pi R' = 4 \times 2\pi R \] - This simplifies to: \[ R' = \frac{R}{4} \] 5. **Magnetic Field for the Second Loop**: - Now, substituting \( N = 4 \) and \( R' = \frac{R}{4} \) into the magnetic field formula: \[ B' = \frac{\mu_0 (4) I}{2R'} = \frac{\mu_0 (4) I}{2 \times \frac{R}{4}} = \frac{\mu_0 (4) I \times 4}{2R} = \frac{16 \mu_0 I}{2R} \] - Since \( B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} \), we can express \( B' \) in terms of \( B \): \[ B' = 16B \] ### Final Answer: The magnetic field at the center of the new loop with 4 turns is \( 16B \).
