Equal currents $I$ are flowing in three infinitely long wires along the positive $x$,$y$,and $z$ directions. The magnetic field at a point $(0, 0, -a)$ would be:

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi a}(\hat{j} - \hat{i})$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi a}(\hat{i} - \hat{j})$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi a}(\hat{i} + \hat{j})$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi a}(-\hat{i} - \hat{j})$

$A$ coil of one turn is made of a wire of a certain length,and then from the same length of wire,a coil of two turns is made. If the same current is passed in both cases,what is the ratio of the magnetic inductions at their centers?

Magnetic field induction at the centre of a circular coil of radius $5 \,cm$ and carrying a current $0.9 \,A$ is (in $SI$ units) (where $\varepsilon_0$ is the absolute permittivity of air in $SI$ units,and the velocity of light $c = 3 \times 10^8 \,ms^{-1}$)

Two concentric circular loops,one of radius $R$ and the other of radius $2R$,lie in the $xy$-plane with the origin as their common center,as shown in the figure. The smaller loop carries current $I_1$ in the anti-clockwise direction and the larger loop carries current $I_2$ in the clockwise direction,with $I_2 > 2I_1$. $\vec{B}(x, y)$ denotes the magnetic field at a point $(x, y)$ in the $xy$-plane. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ $\vec{B}(x, y)$ is perpendicular to the $xy$-plane at any point in the plane.
$(B)$ $|\vec{B}(x, y)|$ depends on $x$ and $y$ only through the radial distance $r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$.
$(C)$ $|\vec{B}(x, y)|$ is non-zero at all points for $r$.
$(D)$ $\vec{B}(x, y)$ points normally outward from the $xy$-plane for all the points between the two loops.

$A$ current $I$ flows through the loop as shown in the figure. The magnetic field at the centre $O$ is:

$A$ 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:
