  • A
    $8 \times 10^{-20} \, N$
  • B
    $3.2 \times 10^{-19} \, N$
  • C
    $8 \times 10^{-18} \, N$

$A$ long straight wire of radius $a$ carries a steady current $i$. The current is uniformly distributed across its cross-section. The ratio of the magnetic field at $a/2$ and $2a$ is:

$A$ coil of $n$ number of turns is wound tightly in the form of a spiral with inner and outer radii $a$ and $b$ respectively. When a current of strength $I$ is passed through the coil,the magnetic field at its centre is

Assertion : The magnetic field at the centre of the circular coil in the following figure due to the currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ is zero.
Reason : $I_1 = I_2$ implies that the fields due to the current $I_1$ and $I_2$ will be balanced.
