(N/A) For a circular loop of radius $R$ carrying current $I$:
$(i)$ The magnetic field at a point on the axis at a distance $z$ from the center is given by: $B = \frac{\mu_0 I R^2}{2(R^2 + z^2)^{3/2}}$.
$(ii)$ The magnetic field at a point in the plane of the loop at a distance $x$ from the center is generally calculated using elliptic integrals,as there is no simple closed-form algebraic expression for an arbitrary point $x$ inside or outside the loop. However,for $x \ll R$,it can be approximated using a Taylor expansion,but it is not a standard elementary formula like the axial case.

The magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil of radius $R$,carrying current $2 \ A$ is $B_1$. The magnetic field at the centre of another coil of radius $3R$ carrying current $4 \ A$ is $B_2$. The ratio $B_1: B_2$ is

$A$ non-conducting thin disc of radius $R$ rotates about its axis with an angular velocity $\omega$. The surface charge density on the disc varies with the distance $r$ from the center as $\sigma(r)=\sigma_0\left[1+\left(\frac{r}{R}\right)^\beta\right]$, where $\sigma_0$ and $\beta$ are constants. If the magnetic induction at the center is $B=\left(\frac{9}{10}\right) \mu_0 \sigma_0 \omega R$, the value of $\beta$ is
