Solution

The correct option is A 32h2r2
The field at center is given by Bc=μoi2r
and on its axis at a distance h is given by Ba=μoir22(r2+h2)3/2 when h<<r

then Ba=μoi2R(1+(h/r)2)3/2
By applying binomial approximation we get,
Ba=μoi(13h22r2)2r
Now Difference in the field at center and at distance h is ΔB=BcBa
ΔB=μoi×3h24r3
Now ΔB/B=3h22r2
Hence option(A)
