The magnitude of the magnetic field at $O$ due to a current-carrying loop as shown in the figure is, where $O$ is the center of two circular portions with radii $1 \, cm$ and $2 \, cm$ respectively. (Take the value of current $I = \frac{1.2}{\pi} \, A$)

Five very long,straight wires are bound together to form a small cable. Currents carried by the wires are $I_1 = 20\,A, I_2 = -6\,A, I_3 = 12\,A, I_4 = -7\,A, I_5 = 18\,A.$ The magnetic induction at a distance of $10\,cm$ from the cable is

Which of the following is a vector quantity?

Two straight infinitely long current-carrying wires are kept along the $z-$axis at the coordinates $(0, a, 0)$ and $(0, -a, 0)$ respectively, as shown in the figure. The current in each wire is equal and directed along the negative $z-$axis (into the plane of the paper). The variation of the magnetic field on the $x-$axis will be approximately:
