As we learnt in 

Magnetic Field at the axis due to circular current carrying wire -

B_{axis}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi }.\frac{2\pi Nir^{2}}{(x^{2}+r^{2})\frac{3}{2}}

- wherein

N is numbers of turn in coil

 

 B=\frac{\mu_o iR^{2}}{2(R^{2}+x^{2})^\frac{3}{2}}

B=(\frac{1}{8}).\frac{\mu_oi }{2R}   

\Rightarrow \frac{\mu_{0}iR^{2}}{2(R^{2}+x^{2})^{3/2}} = \frac{1}{8}.\frac{\mu_{0}i}{2R}

\Rightarrow 8R3 = (R2 + x2)3/2

\Rightarrow 4R2 = R2 + x2

\Rightarrow x = \sqrt{3} R


Option 1)

\frac{R}{\sqrt{3}}

incorrect

Option 2)

\sqrt{3}R

correct

Option 3)

2\sqrt{3}R

incorrect

Option 4)

\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{R}

incorrect
