A circular coil has 20 turns, a radius of 0.1 m, and carries a current of 4 A. Calculate the magnetic field strength at the center. Assume μ₀ = 4π x 10^-7 T m/A.
💡 Hint: Follow through the formula and do the math step by step!
If a coil's radius is doubled while keeping the number of turns and current constant, how does the magnetic field strength at the center change? Explain the reasoning.
💡 Hint: What happens when you increase the distance from the source?
