$A$ linear small part of wire $PQ$ is situated on the $y$-axis from $y = -a/2$ to $y = +a/2$, and a current $I$ is flowing through it. The magnetic field produced due to wire $PQ$ at the point $y = +a$ will be:

  • A
    Proportional to $a$
  • B
    Inversely proportional to $a$
  • C
    Proportional to $a^2$
  • D
    Zero

Two concentric coils of $10$ turns each are placed in the same plane. Their radii are $20 \ cm$ and $40 \ cm$ and carry $0.2 \ A$ and $0.3 \ A$ current respectively in opposite directions. The magnetic induction (in $T$) at the centre is

$A$ straight wire of length $\pi^2 \, m$ carries a current of $2 \, A$. The magnetic field due to it is measured at a point $1 \, cm$ away from it. If the wire is bent into a circle and carries the same current,what is the ratio of the magnetic field at its centre to the magnetic field measured in the first case?

$A$ long straight wire of circular cross-section of radius $a$ is carrying a steady current. The current is distributed uniformly across the cross-section of the wire. The ratio of the magnetic fields at points $0.5a$ and $1.5a$ from the centre of the wire is

The Biot-Savart law for a moving point charge $q$ with velocity $\vec{v}$ is given by $\vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{q(\vec{v} \times \vec{r})}{r^3}$. This indicates that the magnetic field $\vec{B}$ produced by an electron moving with velocity $\vec{v}$ is such that:
