In a current-carrying long solenoid, the field produced does not depend upon:

A circular coil A  has a radius \(R\) and the current flowing through it is \(I.\) Another circular coil B has a radius \(2R\) and if \(2I\) is the current flowing through it, then the magnetic fields at the centre of the circular coil are in the ratio of (i.e. $B_A$ to $B_B$):
1. \(4:1\)                             
2. \(2:1\)
3. \(3:1\)                             
4. \(1:1\)
