The magnetic induction due to an infinitely long straight wire carrying a current $i$ at a distance $r$ from the wire is given by:

  • A
    $|B| = \left( \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \right) \frac{2i}{r}$
  • B
    $|B| = \left( \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \right) \frac{r}{2i}$
  • C
    $|B| = \left( \frac{4\pi}{\mu_0} \right) \frac{2i}{r}$
  • D
    $|B| = \left( \frac{4\pi}{\mu_0} \right) \frac{r}{2i}$

$A$ particle carrying a charge equal to $1000$ times the charge on an electron is rotating at $1$ rotation per second in a circular path of radius $r \ m$. If the magnetic field produced at the centre of the path is $x$ times the permeability of vacuum $\mu_0$,the radius $r$ in $m$ is: $[e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C], [x = 2 \times 10^{-16}]$

$A$ long straight wire carrying a current of $30 \ A$ is placed in an external uniform magnetic field of induction $4 \times 10^{-4} \ T$. The magnetic field is acting parallel to the direction of current. The magnitude of the resultant magnetic induction in tesla at a point $2.0 \ cm$ away from the wire is $(\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ H/m)$.

If $B_1$ is the magnetic field induction at a point on the axis of a circular coil of radius $R$ situated at a distance $R \sqrt{3}$ and $B_2$ is the magnetic field at the centre of the coil,then the ratio of $\frac{B_1}{B_2}$ is equal to

$A$ conducting wire is in the shape of a regular hexagon which is inscribed inside an imaginary circle of radius $R$. If a current $I$ flows through the wire, the magnitude of the magnetic field at the centre of the circle is

The electric current in a circular coil of four turns produces a magnetic induction $32 \ T$ at its centre. The coil is unwound and is rewound into a circular coil of a single turn. If the same current flows through the new coil,the magnetic induction at the centre will be $.......... \ T$.
