$A$ straight section $PQ$ of a circuit lies along the $X$-axis from $x = -\frac{a}{2}$ to $x = \frac{a}{2}$ and carries a steady current $i$. The magnetic field due to the section $PQ$ at a point $x = a$ on the $X$-axis will be:

  • A
    Proportional to $a$
  • B
    Proportional to $a^2$
  • C
    Proportional to $1/a$
  • D
    Zero

Consider a long straight wire of a circular cross-section (radius $a$) carrying a steady current $I$. The current is uniformly distributed across this cross-section. The distances from the centre of the wire's cross-section at which the magnetic field [inside the wire,outside the wire] is half of the maximum possible magnetic field,anywhere due to the wire,will be

$AB$ and $CD$ are long straight conductors,separated by a distance $d$,each carrying a current $I$. The magnetic field at the midpoint of $BC$ is

The current passing through a conducting loop in the form of an equilateral triangle of side $4\sqrt{3} \text{ cm}$ is $2 \text{ A}$. The magnetic field at its centroid is $\alpha \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . . (Given: $\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ SI units}$)
