The correct Answer is:
To determine the effect on the magnetic field at the center of a circular coil when the current, radius, and number of turns are all doubled, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Formula for Magnetic Field**: The magnetic field \( B \) at the center of a circular coil is given by the formula: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 N I}{2R} \] where: - \( B \) is the magnetic field, - \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space, - \( N \) is the number of turns, - \( I \) is the current, - \( R \) is the radius of the coil. 2. **Identify the Changes**: According to the problem, we need to double the current \( I \), the radius \( R \), and the number of turns \( N \): - New current \( I' = 2I \) - New radius \( R' = 2R \) - New number of turns \( N' = 2N \) 3. **Substitute the New Values into the Formula**: We substitute \( I' \), \( R' \), and \( N' \) into the magnetic field formula: \[ B' = \frac{\mu_0 N' I'}{2R'} \] Substituting the new values: \[ B' = \frac{\mu_0 (2N)(2I)}{2(2R)} \] 4. **Simplify the Expression**: Now simplify the expression: \[ B' = \frac{\mu_0 (4NI)}{4R} \] This simplifies to: \[ B' = \frac{\mu_0 N I}{R} \] 5. **Compare with the Original Magnetic Field**: The original magnetic field \( B \) was: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 N I}{2R} \] Now we see that: \[ B' = 2 \left(\frac{\mu_0 N I}{2R}\right) = 2B \] 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the new magnetic field \( B' \) is twice the original magnetic field \( B \). Thus, the magnetic field at the center of the coil becomes doubled. ### Final Answer: The magnetic field at the center becomes **doubled**. ---
