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
    zero
  • B
    $\sqrt{2} B$
  • C
    $\sqrt{3} B$
  • D
    $B$

What is the ratio of the magnetic field at the center of a circle and a square made from a wire of the same length?

$A$ compass needle free to turn in a horizontal plane is placed at the centre of a circular coil of $30$ turns and radius $12 \;cm$. The coil is in a vertical plane making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the magnetic meridian. When the current in the coil is $0.35 \;A$,the needle points west to east.
$(a)$ Determine the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field at the location.
$(b)$ The current in the coil is reversed,and the coil is rotated about its vertical axis by an angle of $90^{\circ}$ in the anticlockwise sense looking from above. Predict the direction of the needle. Take the magnetic declination at the place to be zero.

Assertion : $A$ charge,whether stationary or in motion,produces a magnetic field around it.
Reason : Moving charges produce only electric field in the surrounding space.
