Solution

The correct option is C $\frac{R}{2}$
Let $i$ be the current flowing in the loop $B$ .

Magnetic field at loop $A$ due to loop $B$ is given by

$B_{A} = \frac{μ_{0} i R^{2}}{2 (R^{2} + x^{2})^{3 / 2}}$

So, magnetic flux passing through loop $A$ is

$ϕ_{A} = B_{A} (π r^{2})$

$ϕ_{A} = \frac{μ_{0} i R^{2}}{2 (R^{2} + x^{2})^{3 / 2}} (π r^{2})$

$ϕ_{A} = \frac{μ_{0} π i r^{2} R^{2}}{2 (R^{2} + x^{2})^{3 / 2}}$

Applying Faraday's law of induction,

$E_{A} = - \frac{d ϕ_{A}}{d t}$

$E_{A} = - \frac{μ_{0} π i r^{2} R^{2}}{2} (\frac{- 3}{2}) (R^{2} + x^{2})^{- 5 / 2} (2 x)$

$E_{A} = \frac{3 μ_{0} π i r^{2} R^{2}}{2} \frac{x}{(R^{2} + x^{2})^{5 / 2}}$

As we know that $E_{A}$ will be maximum when, $\frac{d E_{A}}{d x} = 0$

$∴ \frac{d E_{A}}{d x} = \frac{d}{d x} \frac{x}{(R^{2} + x^{2})^{5 / 2}} = 0$

$[1 \times (R^{2} + x^{2})^{5 / 2}] - [\frac{5 x}{2} (R^{2} + x^{2})^{3 / 2} (2 x)] = 0$

$R^{2} + x^{2} - 5 x^{2} = 0$

$x = \pm \frac{R}{2}$

Hence, option $(C)$ is correct.
