Biot-Savart law indicates that the moving electrons (velocity $\vec{v}$) produce a magnetic field $\vec{B}$ such that

  • A
    $\vec{B} \perp \vec{v}$
  • B
    $\vec{B} \parallel \vec{v}$
  • C
    It obeys the inverse cube law
  • D
    It is along the line joining the electron and the point of observation

Two identical long parallel wires carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ such that $I_1 > I_2$. When the currents are in the same direction,the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires is $8 \times 10^{-6} \ T$. If the direction of $I_2$ is reversed,the field becomes $3.2 \times 10^{-5} \ T$. The ratio of $I_2$ to $I_1$ is
