Two concentric coplanar circular loops of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ carry currents $i_1$ and $i_2$ in opposite directions (one clockwise and the other anticlockwise). The magnetic induction at the center of the loops is half that due to $i_1$ alone at the center. If $r_2 = 2r_1$,find the value of $\frac{i_2}{i_1}$.

$A$ current $I$ is flowing in a conductor $PQRST$ as shown in the figure. The radius of the curved path $QRS$ is $r$ and the length of the straight portions $PQ$ and $ST$ is very large. The magnetic field at the centre $O$ of the curved part is $(\mu_0 = \text{permeability of free space})$

Two circular coils $X$ (smaller) and $Y$ (bigger), each having a single turn, carry equal currents in the same direction and subtend the same angle at point '$O$' along the axis of the coil. The distances of the centers of coil to point '$O$' are $d$ and $(d/2)$ for coil $Y$ and $X$ respectively. The radii of coils $Y$ and $X$ are $(2r)$ and $(r)$ respectively. The magnetic induction due to the bigger coil at point '$O$' is $B_y$ and that due to smaller coil $X$ at point '$O$' is $B_x$. $(d \gg r)$ The relation between $B_x$ and $B_y$ is
