The magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil of radius $r$ carrying current $I$ is $B_1$. The field at the centre of another coil of radius $2r$ carrying the same current $I$ is $B_2$. The ratio $\frac{B_1}{B_2}$ is

If $B_1$ is the magnetic field induction at a point on the axis of a circular coil of radius $R$ situated at a distance $R \sqrt{3}$ and $B_2$ is the magnetic field at the centre of the coil,then the ratio of $\frac{B_1}{B_2}$ is equal to

Two circular loops having same radius $[ R = 10 \, cm ]$ and same current $[ I = \frac{7}{2} \, A ]$ are placed along the same axis as shown. If the distance between their centers is $[ 10 \, cm ]$,find the net magnetic field at point $P$ located at the midpoint between them.
