Answer

(a) same (b) III

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $B=\mu_{\circ}(\frac{N}{L})I$ Now applying the given conditions, we have $B^{\prime}=\mu_{\circ}(\frac{2N}{2L})I$ $B^{\prime}=\mu_{\circ}(\frac{N}{L})I$ $\implies B^{\prime}=B $ Thus, the magnetic field remains the same. (b) We know that the best explanation is option (III) -- that is, the magnetic field remains the same because the number of turns per length is unchanged.
