Consider two thin identical conducting wires covered with very thin insulating material. One of the wires is bent into a loop and produces magnetic field B1, at its centre when a current I passes through it. The second wire is bent into a coil with three identical loops adjacent to each other and produces magnetic field B2 at the centre of the loops when current I/3 passes through it. The ratio B1 : B2 is:
  1. 1 : 3
  2. 9 : 1
  3. 1 : 9
  4. 1 : 1

Answer

(A) 1 : 3
