Two long current-carrying thin wires,both with current $I$,are held by insulating threads of length $L$ and are in equilibrium as shown in the figure,with threads making an angle $\theta$ with the vertical. If the wires have mass $\lambda$ per unit length,then the value of current $I$ is ($g =$ gravitational acceleration).

  • A
    $2 \sin \theta \sqrt{\frac{\pi \lambda g L}{\mu_0 \cos \theta}}$
  • B
    $2 \sqrt{\frac{\pi g L}{\mu_0} \tan \theta}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{\pi \lambda g L}{\mu_0} \tan \theta}$
  • D
    $\sin \theta \sqrt{\frac{\pi \lambda g L}{\mu_0 \cos \theta}}$

Which of the following statements is correct?

If an observer is moving with respect to a stationary electron,then he observes:

An electron (mass $9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$ and charge $1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$) moving with speed $v = c/100$ $(c = 3 \times 10^8 \ ms^{-1})$ is injected into a magnetic field $\vec{B}$ of magnitude $9 \times 10^{-4} \ T$ perpendicular to its direction of motion. We wish to apply a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$ together with the magnetic field so that the electron does not deflect from its path. Then:

The neutral temperature of a thermocouple is $350\,^{\circ}C$ when the cold junction is at $0\,^{\circ}C$. When the cold junction is immersed in a bath of $30\,^{\circ}C$,the inversion temperature is .............. $^{\circ}C$.
