Concept

The magnetic field at the center of the coil is given by:

\(B={μ \over 2}{I\over R}\)

where, B = Magnetic field density

μ = Permeability

I = Current

R = Radius

Explanation

From the above expression, the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the radius of the coil.

\(B\space \alpha \space {1\over R}\)

If the radius of a circular current-carrying coil is tripled, then the magnetic field at the center of the coil becomes one-third.
