$A$ straight wire of length $\pi^2 \, m$ carries a current of $2 \, A$. The magnetic field due to it is measured at a point $1 \, cm$ away from it. If the wire is bent into a circle and carries the same current,what is the ratio of the magnetic field at its centre to the magnetic field measured in the first case?

  • A
    $50:1$
  • B
    $1:50$
  • C
    $100:1$
  • D
    $1:100$
