The magnetic field due to a current-carrying circular loop of radius $6 \text{ cm}$ at a point on the axis at a distance of $8 \text{ cm}$ from the centre is $27 \mu \text{T}$. The magnetic field at the centre of the current-carrying loop is: (in $\mu \text{T}$)

$A$ circular loop and an infinitely long straight conductor carry equal currents,as shown in the figure. The net magnetic field at the centre of the loop is $B_1$,when the current in the loop is clockwise and $B_2$ when the current in the loop is anti-clockwise. Then $\frac{B_1}{B_2}$ is

$A$ long wire carries a steady current. It is bent into a coil of one turn such that the magnetic induction at the centre is $B$. If the same wire is bent to form a coil of smaller radius with $n$ turns,then the new magnetic induction $B^{\prime}$ at the centre is:
