$A$ steady current $I$ flows through a wire with one end at $O$ and the other end extending up to infinity as shown in the figure. The magnetic field at a point $P$, located at a distance $d$ from $O$, is

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 \pi d \cos \alpha}(1-\sin \alpha)$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi d \cos \alpha}(1-\sin \alpha)$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 \pi d}$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 \pi d \sin \alpha}(1-\cos \alpha)$

Current through $ABC$ and $A^{\prime} B^{\prime} C^{\prime}$ is $I$. What is the magnetic field at $P$? $BP = PB^{\prime} = r$. (Here $C^{\prime} B^{\prime} PBC$ are collinear).

$A$ thin ring of radius $R$ carries a uniformly distributed charge. The ring rotates at a constant speed $N$ r.p.s. about its axis perpendicular to the plane. If $B$ is the magnetic field at the centre,the charge on the ring is ($\mu_0 =$ permeability of free space).

Assertion : The magnetic field at the centre of the circular coil in the following figure due to the currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ is zero.
Reason : $I_1 = I_2$ implies that the fields due to the current $I_1$ and $I_2$ will be balanced.
