An electric current passes through a long straight wire. At a distance $5 \ cm$ from the wire,the magnetic field is $B$. The magnetic field at $20 \ cm$ from the wire would be:

  • A
    $\frac{B}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{B}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{B}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{B}{2}$

In a wire of radius $1 \ mm$,a steady current of $2 \ A$ uniformly distributed across the cross-section of the wire is flowing. Then the magnetic field at a point $0.25 \ mm$ from the centre of the wire is (in $\mu T$)

Two concentric circular coils $X$ and $Y$ of radii $16\; cm$ and $10\; cm$ respectively,lie in the same vertical plane containing the north to south direction. Coil $X$ has $20$ turns and carries a current of $16\; A$. Coil $Y$ has $25$ turns and carries a current of $18\; A$. The sense of the current in $X$ is anticlockwise,and clockwise in $Y$,for an observer looking at the coils facing west. Give the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field due to the coils at their centre.

In the figure,two parallel infinitely long current-carrying wires are shown. If the resultant magnetic field at point $A$ is zero,then determine the current $I$ (in $A$).
