Did I find the correct ratio in this magnetic field question?
I used the two equations i listed by using B1=B2 and by doing that i ended up finding that N1/N2=λ. However i am not sure if that's the correct answer as λ is just a variable and not an actual number. Do you think it has to be an actual number or is it not really necessary?- HazyMan
