The magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil of radius $r$ is $\pi $ times that due to a long straight wire at a distance $r$ from it, for equal currents. Figure here shows three cases : in all cases the circular part has radius $r$ and straight ones are infinitely long. For same current the $B$ field at the centre $P$ in cases $1$, $2$, $ 3$ have the ratio

(a) Case $1$ : ${B_A} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{i}{r} \otimes $ 

${B_B} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{{\pi \,i}}{r}\odot$ 

${B_C} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{i}{r}\odot$ 

So net magnetic field at the centre of case $1$ 

${B_1} = {B_B} - {B_C} - {B_A} \Rightarrow {B_1} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{{\pi i}}{r}\odot$..... $(i)$

Case $2$ : As we discussed before magnetic field at the centre $O$ in this case 

${B_2} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{{\pi i}}{r} \otimes $ ..... $(ii)$

Case $3$ : ${B_A} = 0$ ${B_B} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{{(2\pi - \pi /2)i}}{r} \otimes $ 

${B_C} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{i}{r}\odot$

$ = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{{3\pi i}}{{2r}} \otimes $ 

So net magnetic field at the centre of case $3$ ${B_3} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{i}{r}\left( {\frac{{3\pi }}{2} - 1} \right) \otimes $..... $(iii)$

From equation $(i)$, $(ii)$ and $(iii)$ 

${B_1}:{B_2}:{B_3} = \pi \odot$ : $\pi \otimes $ $\left( {\frac{{3\pi }}{2} - 1} \right)\, \otimes = - \frac{\pi }{2}:\frac{\pi }{2}:\left( {\frac{{3\pi }}{4} - \frac{1}{2}} \right)$

    A charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed over the surface of nonconducting disc of radius $R$. The disc rotates about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through its centre with an angular velocity $\omega$. As a result of this rotation a magnetic field ofinduction $B$ is obtained at the centre of the disc. If we keep both the amount of charge placed on the disc and its angular velocity to be constant and vary the radius of the disc then the variation of the magnetic induction at the centre of the disc will be represented by the figure
