The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the magnetic field produced by a circular wire and how it changes when we create a loop with two turns from the same wire. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Magnetic Field from a Single Loop**: The magnetic field \( B \) at the center of a single circular loop of radius \( R \) carrying a current \( I \) is given by the formula: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I n}{2R} \] where \( n \) is the number of turns (which is 1 for a single loop). 2. **Magnetic Field for the First Case**: In the first case, we have a single loop (1 turn) with radius \( R_1 \) and the magnetic field at its center is given as \( B \): \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I \cdot 1}{2R_1} \] This can be marked as Equation (1). 3. **Creating a Loop with Two Turns**: Now, we create a new loop with 2 turns from the same wire. When we double the number of turns, the radius of the new loop \( R_2 \) will be half of the original radius \( R_1 \) (since the same wire is used, and the circumference must remain the same): \[ R_2 = \frac{R_1}{2} \] Thus, the number of turns \( n_2 = 2 \). 4. **Magnetic Field for the Second Case**: For the second case, the magnetic field at the center of the new loop with 2 turns is: \[ B' = \frac{\mu_0 I n_2}{2R_2} \] Substituting \( n_2 = 2 \) and \( R_2 = \frac{R_1}{2} \): \[ B' = \frac{\mu_0 I \cdot 2}{2 \cdot \frac{R_1}{2}} = \frac{\mu_0 I \cdot 2}{\frac{R_1}{1}} = \frac{2\mu_0 I}{R_1} \] 5. **Relating the Two Magnetic Fields**: Now, we can relate \( B' \) to \( B \): From Equation (1), we have: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R_1} \] Therefore: \[ B' = 4B \] 6. **Conclusion**: The magnetic field at the center of the loop with two turns is \( 4B \). ### Final Answer: The magnetic field at the center of the loop with two turns is \( 4B \).
