A circular coil of closely wound N turns and radius r carries a current I. Write the expression for the following: (i) the magnetic field at its centre (ii) the magnetic moment of this coil
Solution:
(i) : Magnetic field at the center B = μ₀IN/2r (ii) : Area of the coil A = πr² ∴Magnetic moment of the coil μ = INA = πr²IN
