An infinitely long wire carrying current $I$ is along the $Y$-axis such that its one end is at point $A(0, b)$ while the wire extends up to $+\infty$. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field strength at point $(a, 0)$.

  • A
    $\frac{{\mu _0}I}{{4\pi a}}\left( {1 + \frac{b}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right)$
  • B
    $\frac{{\mu _0}I}{{4\pi a}}\left( {1 - \frac{b}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{{\mu _0}I}{{4\pi a}}\left( {\frac{b}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right)$
  • D
    None of these

Two circular coils $1$ and $2$ are made from the same wire. The radius of the first coil is twice that of the second coil. What is the ratio of potential difference applied across them $V_1 / V_2$,so that the magnetic field at their centre is the same?

$A$ current passing through a circular coil of two turns produces a magnetic field $B$ at its centre. The coil is then rewound so as to have four turns and the same current is passed through it. The magnetic field at its centre now is

An infinitely long straight conductor is bent into the shape as shown in the figure. It carries a current of $i$ $ampere$ and the radius of the circular loop is $r$ $metre$. Then the magnetic induction at its centre $O$ will be:
