$B _{\text {axis }}=\frac{\mu_{0} i R ^{2}}{2\left( R ^{2}+ x ^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}$

$B _{\text {centre }}=\frac{\mu_{0} i }{2 R }$

$\therefore B _{\text {centre }}=\frac{\mu_{0} i }{2 a }$

$\therefore B _{ axis }=\frac{\mu_{0} ia ^{2}}{2\left( a ^{2}+ r ^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}$

$\therefore$ fractional change in magnetic field $=$

$\frac{\frac{\mu_{0} i }{2 a }-\frac{\mu_{0} ia ^{2}}{2\left( a ^{2}+ r ^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}}{{\frac{\mu_{0} i }{2 a }}}=1-\frac{1}{\left[1+\left(\frac{ r ^{2}}{ a ^{2}}\right)\right]^{3 / 2}}$

$\approx 1-\left[1-\frac{3}{2} \frac{ r ^{2}}{ a ^{2}}\right]=\frac{3}{2} \frac{ r ^{2}}{ a ^{2}}$

Note : $\left(1+\frac{ r ^{2}}{ a ^{2}}\right)^{-3 / 2} \approx\left(1-\frac{3}{2} \frac{ r ^{2}}{ a ^{2}}\right)$

[True only if $r << a ]$

    The coil in a moving coil Galvanometer experiences torque proportional to current passed through it. If a steady current $i$ is passed through it the deflection of the coil is found to be $90^o$ . Now the steady current is switched off and a charge $Q$ is suddenly passed through the coil. If the coil has $N$ turns of area $A$ each and its moment of inertia is $I$ about the axis it is going to rotate then the maximum angle through which it deflects upon passing $Q$ is
