$A$ wire has three different sections as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the magnetic field produced at the centre '$O$' of the semicircle by the three sections together is $(\mu_0 = \text{permeability of free space})$:

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 R}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 R}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 \pi R}$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi R}$

Write the formula for the magnetic field at the centre of a circular current-carrying loop.

Two parallel wires in the plane of the paper are at a distance $X_0$ apart. $A$ point charge is moving with speed $u$ between the wires in the same plane at a distance $X_1$ from one of the wires. When the wires carry current of magnitude $I$ in the same direction, the radius of curvature of the path of the point charge is $R_1$. In contrast, if the currents $I$ in the two wires have directions opposite to each other, the radius of curvature of the path is $R_2$. If $\frac{X_0}{X_1}=3$, the value of $\frac{R_1}{R_2}$ is:

Two long parallel wires are at a distance $2d$ apart. They carry steady equal currents flowing out of the plane of the paper,as shown. The variation of the magnetic field $B$ along the line $XX'$ is given by

Two very thin metallic wires placed along $X$ and $Y$-axis carry equal currents as shown in the figure. $AB$ and $CD$ are lines at $45^\circ$ with the axes,with the origin of the axes at $O$. The magnetic field will be zero on the line:

Assertion: In electric circuits,wires carrying currents in opposite directions are often twisted together.
Reason: If the wires are not twisted together,the combination of the wires forms a current loop,and the magnetic field generated by the loop might affect adjacent circuits or components.
