Axial Magnetic Field of Concentric Loops
< Prev
Next >

Two concentric circular loops of radii $$R$$ and $$2R$$ are situated in the same plane. The inner loop carries a current $$I$$ clockwise, while the outer loop carries a current $$2I$$ counterclockwise. At what distance $$z$$ along the central axis, measured from the plane of the loops, is the magnitude of the net magnetic field a maximum?

A

$$z = 2R$$

B

$$z = \frac{R}{\sqrt{2}}$$

C

$$z = R$$

D

$$z = \sqrt{3}R$$
