Options:
  • A $2 \mathrm{~N}_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{B}}$
  • B $\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}}=2 \mathrm{~N}_{\mathrm{B}}$
  • C $\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{A}}=4 \mathrm{~N}_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{B}}$
  • D $4 \mathrm{~N}_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{B}}$

The correct answer is: $\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{A}}=4 \mathrm{~N}_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{B}}$
The magnetic moment associated with circular coil,
$\begin{aligned}
& M=N I A \\
& M_A=M_B \\
& \therefore N_A I_A A_A=N_B I_B A_B \\
& \therefore N_A I_A \pi(0.1)^2=N_B I_B \pi(0.2)^2\left(\because A=\pi r^2\right) \\
& \therefore N_A I_A=4 N_B I_B
\end{aligned}$
