Solution

Number of turns on the circular coil, n = 100

Radius of each turn, r = 8.0 cm = 0.08 m

Current flowing in the coil, I = 0.4 A

Magnitude of the magnetic field at the centre of the coil is given by the relation,

Where,

= Permeability of free space

= 4π × 10–7 T m A–1

Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 3.14 × 10–4 T.
