The current flowing along the path $A B C D$ of a cube (shown in the left figure) produces a magnetic field at the centre of the cube of magnitude $B$. Dashed lines depict the non-conducting part of the cube. Consider a cubical shape shown to the right which is identical in size and shape to the left. If the same current now flows in along the path $D A E F G C D$,then the magnitude of the magnetic field at the centre will be

$A$ circular coil connected to a battery of emf $E$ produces a certain magnetic induction field at its centre. The coil is unwound,stretched to double its length,rewound into a coil of $1/3$ of the original radius,and connected to a battery of emf $E^{\prime}$ to produce the same field at the centre. Then $E^{\prime}$ is

$A$ mass spectrometer is a device which selects particles of equal mass. An ion with electric charge $q > 0$ and mass $m$ starts at rest from a source $S$ and is accelerated through a potential difference $V$. It passes through a hole into a region of constant magnetic field $\vec B$ perpendicular to the plane of the paper as shown in the figure. The particle is deflected by the magnetic field and emerges through the bottom hole at a distance $d$ from the top hole. The mass of the particle is:

In a thin rectangular metallic strip, a constant current $I$ flows along the positive $x$-direction, as shown in the figure. The length, width, and thickness of the strip are $\ell$, $w$, and $d$, respectively. A uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ is applied on the strip along the positive $y$-direction. Due to this, the charge carriers experience a net deflection along the $z$-direction. This results in the accumulation of charge carriers on the surface $PQRS$ and the appearance of equal and opposite charges on the face opposite to $PQRS$. A potential difference along the $z$-direction is thus developed. Charge accumulation continues until the magnetic force is balanced by the electric force. The current is assumed to be uniformly distributed on the cross-section of the strip and carried by electrons.
$1.$ Consider two different metallic strips ($1$ and $2$) of the same material. Their lengths are the same, widths are $w_1$ and $w_2$, and thicknesses are $d_1$ and $d_2$, respectively. Two points $K$ and $M$ are symmetrically located on the opposite faces parallel to the $x$-$y$ plane (see figure). $V_1$ and $V_2$ are the potential differences between $K$ and $M$ in strips $1$ and $2$, respectively. Then, for a given current $I$ flowing through them in a given magnetic field strength $B$, the correct statement$(s)$ is(are):
$(A)$ If $w_1=w_2$ and $d_1=2d_2$, then $V_2=2V_1$
$(B)$ If $w_1=w_2$ and $d_1=2d_2$, then $V_2=V_1$
$(C)$ If $w_1=2w_2$ and $d_1=d_2$, then $V_2=2V_1$
$(D)$ If $w_1=2w_2$ and $d_1=d_2$, then $V_2=V_1$
$2.$ Consider two different metallic strips ($1$ and $2$) of same dimensions (lengths $\ell$, width $w$, and thickness $d$) with carrier densities $n_1$ and $n_2$, respectively. Strip $1$ is placed in magnetic field $B_1$ and strip $2$ is placed in magnetic field $B_2$, both along positive $y$-directions. Then $V_1$ and $V_2$ are the potential differences developed between $K$ and $M$ in strips $1$ and $2$, respectively. Assuming that the current $I$ is the same for both the strips, the correct option$(s)$ is(are):
$(A)$ If $B_1=B_2$ and $n_1=2n_2$, then $V_2=2V_1$
$(B)$ If $B_1=B_2$ and $n_1=2n_2$, then $V_2=V_1$
$(C)$ If $B_1=2B_2$ and $n_1=n_2$, then $V_2=0.5V_1$
$(D)$ If $B_1=2B_2$ and $n_1=n_2$, then $V_2=V_1$
