Two infinitely long wires each carrying the same current $i$ and pointing in $+y$ direction are placed in the $xy$ plane,at $x=-2 \ cm$ and $x=1 \ cm$. An electron is fired with speed $U$ from the origin making an angle of $+45^{\circ}$ from the $x$-axis. The force on the electron at the instant it is fired is [$B_0$ is the magnitude of the field at the origin due to the wire at $x=1 \ cm$ alone].

  • A
    $\frac{-e U B_0}{2 \sqrt{2}}(\hat{i}-\hat{j})$
  • B
    $\frac{-e U B_0}{2}(\hat{i}-\hat{j})$
  • C
    $\frac{-e U B_0}{\sqrt{2}}(\hat{i}-\hat{j})$
  • D
    $-e U B_0(\hat{i}-\hat{j})$

An infinitely long conductor $PQR$ is bent to form a right angle as shown. $A$ current $I$ flows through $PQR$. The magnetic field due to this current at the point $M$ is $H_1$. Now,another infinitely long straight conductor $QS$ is connected at $Q$ so that the current is $I/2$ in $QR$ as well as in $QS$,while the current in $PQ$ remains unchanged. The magnetic field at $M$ is now $H_2$. The ratio $H_1/H_2$ is given by

$A$ square frame of side $1 \ m$ carrying a current $I$ produces a magnetic field $B$ at its centre. The same current is passed through a circular coil having the same perimeter as the square. The magnetic field at the centre of the circular coil is $B^{\prime}$. The ratio of $\frac{B}{B^{\prime}}$ is
