SUMMARY
The magnetic induction at the center of a spherical coil with N turns, current I, and radius R can be calculated using the Biot-Savart law. The relevant equation is B = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \int \frac{I d\mathbf{l} \times \mathbf{\hat r}}{|r|^2}. To find the total induction from multiple turns, the current I can be replaced with NI, where N represents the number of turns. This approach allows for the summation of the magnetic fields produced by each turn of the coil.
