Two circular coils $X$ and $Y$,having an equal number of turns,carry equal currents in the same sense and subtend the same solid angle at point $O$. If the smaller coil $X$ is midway between $O$ and $Y$,then if we represent the magnetic induction due to the bigger coil $Y$ at $O$ as $B_Y$ and that due to the smaller coil $X$ at $O$ as $B_X$,then:

The adjoining figure shows a very long semi-cylindrical conducting shell of radius $R$ carrying a current $i$. An infinitely long straight current-carrying conductor is lying along the axis of the semi-cylinder. If the current flowing through the straight wire is $i_0$,then the force per unit length on the conducting wire 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 $V_2=V_1$
