(N/A) The magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$ due to a circular loop of radius $R$ carrying current $I$ at a distance $x$ from its center along the axis is given by:
$B = \frac{\mu_{0} I R^{2}}{2(x^{2} + R^{2})^{3/2}}$
Case $1$: When the loop has $N$ turns,the magnetic field is:
$B = \frac{\mu_{0} N I R^{2}}{2(x^{2} + R^{2})^{3/2}}$
Case $2$: Magnetic field at the center of the loop $(x = 0)$:
$B = \frac{\mu_{0} N I}{2R}$
Case $3$: When the point is far away from the loop $(x >> R)$:
$B = \frac{\mu_{0} N I R^{2}}{2x^{3}}$
Case $4$: At a distance $x = R$ from the center:
$B = \frac{\mu_{0} N I R^{2}}{2(R^{2} + R^{2})^{3/2}} = \frac{\mu_{0} N I R^{2}}{2(2R^{2})^{3/2}} = \frac{\mu_{0} N I}{2^{5/2} R}$

Two infinitely long wires are placed at $(1 \text{ cm}, 1 \text{ cm})$ and $(1 \text{ cm}, -1 \text{ cm})$ with $1 \text{ A}$ current in each and in the same directions perpendicular to the $xy$-plane. Let the magnetic field due to these current-carrying wires at the origin be $B$. If $B_0$ is the magnitude of the field if only one of them was present,then $\frac{|B|}{B_0}$ is

$A$ current $I$ is flowing in a conductor $PQRST$ as shown in the figure. The radius of the curved path $QRS$ is $r$ and the length of the straight portions $PQ$ and $ST$ is very large. The magnetic field at the centre $O$ of the curved part is $(\mu_0 = \text{permeability of free space})$

Five very long,straight wires are bound together to form a small cable. Currents carried by the wires are $I_1 = 20\,A, I_2 = -6\,A, I_3 = 12\,A, I_4 = -7\,A, I_5 = 18\,A.$ The magnetic induction at a distance of $10\,cm$ from the cable is

An infinitely long straight conductor is bent into the shape as shown in the figure. It carries a current of $i$ $ampere$ and the radius of the circular loop is $r$ $metre$. Then the magnetic induction at its centre $O$ will be:
