$A$ long insulated copper wire is closely wound as a spiral of $N$ turns. The spiral has inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$. The spiral lies in the $X-Y$ plane and a steady current $I$ flows through the wire. The $Z$-component of the magnetic field at the center of the spiral is

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0 N I}{2(b-a)} \ln \left(\frac{b}{a}\right)$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0 N I}{2(b-a)} \ln \left(\frac{b+a}{b-a}\right)$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_0 N I}{2 b} \ln \left(\frac{b}{a}\right)$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu_0 N I}{2 b} \ln \left(\frac{b+a}{b-a}\right)$

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

Find the magnetic field at point $O$.

Two concentric coils each of radius equal to $2\pi \text{ cm}$ are placed at right angles to each other. If $3 \text{ A}$ and $4 \text{ A}$ are the currents flowing through the two coils respectively,the magnetic induction (in $\text{Wb m}^{-2}$) at the centre of the coils will be:

Two parallel wires of equal lengths are separated by a distance of $3 \text{ m}$ from each other. The currents flowing through the first and second wire are $3 \text{ A}$ and $4.5 \text{ A}$ respectively in opposite directions. The resultant magnetic field at the midpoint of both the wires is ($\mu_0$ = permeability of free space).
