$A$ current loop $ABCD$ is held fixed on the plane of the paper as shown in the figure. The arcs $BC$ (radius $= b$) and $DA$ (radius $= a$) of the loop are joined by two straight wires $AB$ and $CD$. $A$ steady current $I$ is flowing in the loop. The angle made by $AB$ and $CD$ at the origin $O$ is $30^\circ$. Another straight thin wire with steady current $I_1$ flowing out of the plane of the paper is kept at the origin. The magnitude of the magnetic field $(B)$ due to the loop $ABCD$ at the origin $(O)$ is:

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $\frac{{\mu _0}I(b - a)}{{24ab}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{\mu _0}I}{{4\pi }}\left[ {\frac{{b - a}}{{ab}}} \right]$
  • D
    $\frac{{\mu _0}I}{{4\pi }}\left[ {2(b - a) + \frac{{\pi (a + b)}}{3}} \right]$

Two circular coils $P$ and $Q$ of $100$ turns each have the same radius of $\pi \text{ cm}$. The currents in $P$ and $Q$ are $1 \text{ A}$ and $2 \text{ A}$ respectively. $P$ and $Q$ are placed with their planes mutually perpendicular and their centers coinciding. The resultant magnetic field induction at the center of the coils is $\sqrt{x} \text{ mT}$,where $x = \_\_\_$.

Two concentric circular loops,one of radius $R$ and the other of radius $2R$,lie in the $xy$-plane with the origin as their common center,as shown in the figure. The smaller loop carries current $I_1$ in the anti-clockwise direction and the larger loop carries current $I_2$ in the clockwise direction,with $I_2 > 2I_1$. $\vec{B}(x, y)$ denotes the magnetic field at a point $(x, y)$ in the $xy$-plane. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ $\vec{B}(x, y)$ is perpendicular to the $xy$-plane at any point in the plane.
$(B)$ $|\vec{B}(x, y)|$ depends on $x$ and $y$ only through the radial distance $r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$.
$(C)$ $|\vec{B}(x, y)|$ is non-zero at all points for $r$.
$(D)$ $\vec{B}(x, y)$ points normally outward from the $xy$-plane for all the points between the two loops.
