The figure shows a circular loop of radius $a$ with two long parallel wires (numbered $1$ and $2$) all in the plane of the paper. The distance of each wire from the centre of the loop is $d$. The loop and the wires are carrying the same current $I$. The current in the loop is in the counterclockwise direction if seen from above.
$1.$ When $d \approx a$ but wires are not touching the loop,it is found that the net magnetic field on the axis of the loop is zero at a height $h$ above the loop. In that case
$(A)$ current in wire $1$ and wire $2$ is in the direction $PQ$ and $RS$,respectively and $h \approx a$
$(B)$ current in wire $1$ and wire $2$ is in the direction $PQ$ and $SR$,respectively and $h \approx a$
$(C)$ current in wire $1$ and wire $2$ is in the direction $PQ$ and $SR$,respectively and $h \approx 1.2 a$
$(D)$ current in wire $1$ and wire $2$ is in the direction $PQ$ and $RS$,respectively and $h \approx 1.2 a$
$2.$ Consider $d \gg a$,and the loop is rotated about its diameter parallel to the wires by $30^{\circ}$ from the position shown in the figure. If the currents in the wires are in the opposite directions,the torque on the loop at its new position will be (assume that the net field due to the wires is constant over the loop)
$(A)$ $\frac{\mu_0 I^2 a^2}{d}$ $(B)$ $\frac{\mu_0 I^2 a^2}{2 d}$ $(C)$ $\frac{\sqrt{3} \mu_0 I^2 a^2}{d}$ $(D)$ $\frac{\sqrt{3} \mu_0 I^2 a^2}{2 d}$

$A$ metal sample carrying a current along $X-$ axis with density $J_x$ is subjected to a magnetic field $B_z$ (along $z-$ axis). The electric field $E_y$ developed along $Y-$ axis is directly proportional to $J_x$ as well as $B_z$. The constant of proportionality has $SI$ unit:

In a Thomson mass spectrograph,the electric field and magnetic field are applied:

Two long current-carrying thin wires,both with current $I$,are held by insulating threads of length $L$ and are in equilibrium as shown in the figure,with threads making an angle $\theta$ with the vertical. If the wires have mass $\lambda$ per unit length,then the value of current $I$ is ($g =$ gravitational acceleration).
