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).

  • A
    $2 \sin \theta \sqrt{\frac{\pi \lambda g L}{\mu_0 \cos \theta}}$
  • B
    $2 \sqrt{\frac{\pi g L}{\mu_0} \tan \theta}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{\pi \lambda g L}{\mu_0} \tan \theta}$
  • D
    $\sin \theta \sqrt{\frac{\pi \lambda g L}{\mu_0 \cos \theta}}$

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

$(D)$ 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)

Give the answer for question $1$ and $2$.

$A$ charge $q$ is accelerated through a potential difference $V$. It is then passed normally through a uniform magnetic field,where it moves in a circle of radius $r$. The potential difference required to move it in a circle of radius $2r$ is (in $V$)

$A$ uniform beam of positively charged particles is moving with a constant velocity parallel to another beam of negatively charged particles moving with the same velocity in the opposite direction,separated by a distance $d$. The variation of the magnetic field $B$ along a perpendicular line drawn between the two beams is best represented by:

Pick out the wrong statement.

$A$ light charged particle is revolving in a circle of radius $r$ due to the electrostatic attraction of a static heavy particle with an opposite charge. How does the magnetic field $B$ at the centre of the circle, produced by the moving charge, depend on $r$?
