A length of wire carries a steady current. It is first bent to form a circular coil of one turn. The same length is now bent more sharply to give a loop of two turns of smaller radius. The magentic field at the centre caused by the same current now will be

A

B

one half of its value in the first case

C

two times its value in first case

D

four times is value in first case.
