The magnetic induction due to an infinitely long straight wire carrying a current $i$ at a distance $r$ from the wire is given by:

  • A
    $|B| = \left( \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \right) \frac{2i}{r}$
  • B
    $|B| = \left( \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \right) \frac{r}{2i}$
  • C
    $|B| = \left( \frac{4\pi}{\mu_0} \right) \frac{2i}{r}$
  • D
    $|B| = \left( \frac{4\pi}{\mu_0} \right) \frac{r}{2i}$

Write the equation for the magnetic field on the axis of a circular current-carrying loop at a distance from the center equal to its radius.

Magnetic field intensity at the centre of a coil of $50$ turns,radius $0.5\, m$ and carrying a current of $2\, A$ is:

Two concentric coplanar circular loops of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ carry currents of respectively $i_1$ and $i_2$ in opposite directions (one clockwise and the other anticlockwise). The magnetic induction at the centre of the loops is half that due to $i_1$ alone at the centre. If $r_2 = 2r_1$,the value of $i_2/i_1$ is:
