Two identical long parallel wires carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ such that $I_1 > I_2$. When the currents are in the same direction,the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires is $8 \times 10^{-6} \ T$. If the direction of $I_2$ is reversed,the field becomes $3.2 \times 10^{-5} \ T$. The ratio of $I_2$ to $I_1$ is

  • A
    $1: 4$
  • B
    $2: 5$
  • C
    $3: 5$
  • D
    $3: 4$

$A$ circular coil of radius $R$ is carrying a current $I_{1}$ in an anticlockwise sense. $A$ long straight wire is carrying a current $I_{2}$ in the negative direction of the $x$-axis. Both are placed in the same plane and the distance between the centre of the coil and the straight wire is $d$. The magnetic field at the centre of the coil will be zero for the value of $d$ equal to:
