    v = T / (2R)

    Explanation:

    Given

    R = radius

    T = strength

    From Biot - Savart Law

    dv = (T/4π) * (dl x r) / r³

    Velocity induced at center

    v = ∫ (T/4π) * (dl x r) / r³

    ⇒ v = ∫ (T/4π) * (dl x R) / R³ (k) k: unit vector perpendicular to plane of loop

    ⇒ v = (T/4π) (1/R²) ∫ dl

    If l ∈ (0, 2πR)

    ⇒ v = (T/4π) (1/R²) (2πR) (k) ⇒ v = T / (2R) (k)
