obtain the expression for magnetic field at axial point distance d from the center of a circular coil of radius a carrying current I . Also find the ratio of the magnitudes of magnetic field of this coil at the center and at axial point for which d=a√3

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

The situation is shown in the figure below,

Here, consider a small element of length "ds" on the ring, If "dB' be the magnetic field induction due to this element at a point P as shown in the figure.
dB = μ0I4πdsr2 = μ0I4πdsa2+x2
Here, I = current passing through the loop, 'a' and 'x' are constants.
But here, for every part, there is an opposite part on the ring, so only their cos θ components will get added.
So, B = dB cos θ = μ0I4πds cos θa2+x2 = μ0I4πdsa2+x2aa2+x212B = μ0I a4π a2+x23202πa ds B= μ0I a22 a2+x232

At the centre of the coil,
B0 = μ0I2a
and at a distance x = a3 on the axial point,
B1 = μ0Ia22a2+a3232=μ0Ia224a232 = μ0Ia216a3B1 = μ0I16a

Therefore, the ratio, 
B0B1=μ0I2aμ0I16a=8
