Marks: +1, -0
Use Biot-Savart law to derive the expression for the magnetic field on the axis of a current carrying circular loop of radius R.
Draw the magnetic field lines due to a circular wire carrying current I.
Solution:
Let us consider a circular loop of radius a with centre C . Let the plane of the coil be perpendicular to the plane of the paper and current I be flowing in the direction shown. Suppose P is any point on the axis at direction r from thecentre.

Let us consider a current element dl on top (L) where, current comes out of paper normally whereas at bottom (M) enters into the plane paper normally.
LP⊥dl
Also MP ⊥dl
LP=MP=r2+a2
Now, magnetic field at P due to current element at L according to Biot-Savart Law,
dB=µ04π⋅Idlsin90∘(r2+a2)
Where, a= radius of circular loop.
r= distance of point P from centre
along the axis.
dBcosϕ components balance each other and net magnetic field is given by
B=∮dBsinϕ
=∮µo4π[Idlr2+a2]⋅ar2+a2
[∴sinϕ=ar2+a2 In ∆PCM]
=µo4πIa(r2+a2)32∮dl
B=µo4πIa(r2+a2)32∮dl
B=µoI2a22(r2+a2)32(2πa)
For n turns, B=µonI2a22(r2+a2)32
