Identical currents flow in two perpendicular wires,as shown in the figure. The wires are very close but do not touch. The magnetic field can be zero:

  • A
    at a point in region $1$ only
  • B
    at a point in region $2$ only
  • C
    at points in both regions $1$ and $3$
  • D
    at points in both regions $2$ and $4$

Two infinitely long thin wires are placed at $(1 \text{ cm}, 0 \text{ cm})$ and $(2 \text{ cm}, 0 \text{ cm})$ as shown in the figure. The same current $i$ flows in both the wires in the same direction, into the page. Let the magnetic field at the origin due to these wires be $\vec{B}$. If $B_0$ is the magnitude of the magnetic field if only the wire at $(1 \text{ cm}, 0 \text{ cm})$ was present, then the value of $B / B_0$ is

$20 \, A$ current is flowing in a long straight wire. The intensity of the magnetic field at a distance of $20 \, cm$ from the wire will be:

The magnetic field normal to the plane of a wire coil of $n$ turns and radius $r$ carrying a current $i$ is measured on the axis of the coil at a small distance $h$ from the centre. By what fraction is this field smaller than the field at the centre?

Two long parallel wires carrying currents $8\,A$ and $15\,A$ in opposite directions are placed at a distance of $7\,cm$ from each other. $A$ point $P$ is equidistant from both the wires such that the lines joining the point $P$ to the wires are perpendicular to each other. The magnitude of magnetic field at $P$ is $............\times 10^{-6}\,T$. (Given : $\sqrt{2}=1.4$)

Two long parallel wires carrying currents $I_1 = 4 \ A$ and $I_2 = 3 \ A$ in opposite directions are placed at a distance of $d = 5 \ cm$ from each other. $A$ point $P$ is at equidistance from both the wires such that the lines joining the point $P$ to the wires are perpendicular to each other. The magnitude of the magnetic field at point $P$ is ( $\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ T \cdot m/A$ ).
