Two identical long parallel wires carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ such that $I_1 > I_2$. When the currents are in the same direction,the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires is $8 \times 10^{-6} \ T$. If the direction of $I_2$ is reversed,the field becomes $3.2 \times 10^{-5} \ T$. The ratio of $I_2$ to $I_1$ is

  • A
    $1: 4$
  • B
    $2: 5$
  • C
    $3: 5$
  • D
    $3: 4$

Given below are two statements:
Statement $(I)$: When currents vary with time,Newton's third law is valid only if momentum carried by the electromagnetic field is taken into account.
Statement $(II)$: Ampere's circuital law does not depend on Biot-Savart's law.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ current $i$ is flowing through the loop. The direction of the current and the shape of the loop are as shown in the figure. The magnetic field at the centre $M$ of the loop is $\frac{\mu_{0} i}{R}$ times
$(MA=R, MB=2 R, \angle DMA=90^{\circ})$

$A$ wire in the form of a circular loop of one turn carrying a current produces a magnetic field $B$ at the centre. If the same wire is looped into a coil of two turns and carries the same current,the new value of magnetic induction at the centre is

Due to $10 \ A$ of current flowing in a circular coil of $10 \ cm$ radius,the magnetic field produced at its centre is $3.14 \times 10^{-3} \ Wb/m^2$. The number of turns in the coil will be:

$A$ straight conductor carrying current $i$ splits into two parts as shown in the figure. The radius of the circular loop is $R$. The total magnetic field at the centre $P$ of the loop is
