What is the magnetic field at the center of a 60-turn coil carrying a current of 4 A, if it has a radius of 0.2 m?

I was thinking of using the equation B=(mu0)(N/l)(current)

But I was wondering do I use the radius for l or do I use the diameter?

I think you need to consider it as flat circular coil instead of a solenoid
