When a helium nucleus covers a circle of radius $0.8 \,m$ in $2 \,s$, find the value of magnetic field $B$ at the centre of the circle.

Two identical long parallel wires carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ such that $I_1 > I_2$. When the currents are in the same direction,the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires is $8 \times 10^{-6} \ T$. If the direction of $I_2$ is reversed,the field becomes $3.2 \times 10^{-5} \ T$. The ratio of $I_2$ to $I_1$ is
