The correct answer is:
$1: 1$
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{B}_1 2 \pi \frac{\mathrm{a}}{2}=\mu_{\mathrm{o}} \frac{\mathrm{I}}{4} \\ & \mathrm{~B}_1=\frac{\mu_{\mathrm{o}} \mathrm{I}}{4 \pi \mathrm{a}} \\ & \mathrm{B}_2 2 \pi 2 \mathrm{a}=\mu_{\mathrm{o}} \mathrm{I} \\ & \mathrm{B}_2=\frac{\mu_{\mathrm{o}} \mathrm{I}}{4 \pi \mathrm{a}}\end{aligned}$
