A physicist measures the magnetic field at the center of a loop of wire with N number of turns (not a solenoid) and current I flowing through it. They then triple the number of coils and half the radius of the coil while keeping the current the same. How does the magnetic field compare in the new situation, B2, compared to the first measurement, B1?

Answer #1

The magnetic field (B) at the centre of a loop having N number of turns and radius R, carrying a current I is given by the equation,

where is called the permeability of free space. Its value is 4 x 10-7 N/A2

Case (i): When the number of turns of the loop is N and the radius of the loop is R,

Case (ii): When the number of turns of the loop is 3N and the radius of the loop is R/2

Hence we can see that the magnetic field B2 is three times B1.

If you pass a current through a wire, you can create a magnetic field. In this class we examine the field from three specific configurations: an infinitely-long straight wire, a compact loop of wire (possibly with multiple turns, a coil), or an infinitely long solenoid (think of an infinitely-long cylinder of loops made by wrapping a single wire). See the text for an extended description of all three geometries. Here’s the challenge: there are three slightly different formulas used to...

17.1) Helmholtz coils The magnetic field on the axis of a circular loop of wire is not very uniform (in fact, we showed that the field strength decreases as 1/r3 ). But, with two such coils, one can produce a relatively uniform field in a small neighborhood. Consider two parallel circular coils of radius a, centered on the y-axis. One coil is in the y = 0 plane, and the other is in the y = d plane. Assume that...

Helmholtz coils are frequently used in experiments because they create a uniform magnetic field about their axial direction. For example, they are traditionally used in the experiment for the measurement of the charge to mass ratio of the electron. Helmholtz coils are two coils separated by a distance equal to their radius and also carry equal currents in the same direction, as shown in the figure on the right. Suppose the radius of the coils is 12.00 cm, each coil...
