The figure shows a cross-section of an infinite metal sheet carrying an electric current along its surface. The current per unit length is $J$. $A$ current-carrying square loop is placed nearby the metal sheet such that the plane of the square is perpendicular to the plane of the sheet. Then:

Two parallel wires in free space are $10\, cm$ apart and each carries a current of $10\, A$ in the same direction. The force one wire exerts on the other per metre of length is

The magnetic field existing in a region is given by $\vec{B} = 0.2(1 + 2x) \hat{k} \text{ T}$. $A$ square loop of edge $50 \text{ cm}$ carrying $0.5 \text{ A}$ current is placed in the $x-y$ plane with its edges parallel to the $x-y$ axes,as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the net magnetic force experienced by the loop is . . . . . . $\text{mN}$.

The circuit in the figure consists of wires at the top and bottom and identical springs as the left and right sides. The wire at the bottom has a mass of $10 \, g$ and is $5 \, cm$ long. The wire is hanging as shown in the figure. The springs stretch $0.5 \, cm$ under the weight of the wire and the circuit has a total resistance of $12 \, \Omega$. When the lower wire is subjected to a static magnetic field,the springs stretch an additional $0.3 \, cm$. The magnetic field is
