Two very long,straight and insulated wires are kept at a $90^o$ angle from each other in the $xy$-plane as shown in the figure. These wires carry a current of equal magnitude $I$,whose directions are shown in the figure. The net magnetic field at point $P$ will be:

  • A
    $\frac{{{\mu _0}I}}{{2\pi d}}\left( {\hat x + \hat y} \right)$
  • B
    $\frac{{ + {\mu _0}I}}{{\pi d}}\left( {\hat z} \right)$
  • C
    Zero
  • D
    $-\frac{{{\mu _0}I}}{{2\pi d}}\left( {\hat x + \hat y} \right)$

An infinitely long conductor $PQR$ is bent to form a right angle as shown. $A$ current $I$ flows through $PQR$. The magnetic field due to this current at the point $M$ is $H_1$. Now,another infinitely long straight conductor $QS$ is connected at $Q$ so that the current is $I/2$ in $QR$ as well as in $QS$,while the current in $PQ$ remains unchanged. The magnetic field at $M$ is now $H_2$. The ratio $H_1/H_2$ is given by
