Two insulated circular loops $A$ and $B$ of radius '$a$' carry a current of '$I$' in the directions as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the magnetic induction at the centre $O$ will be:

Two long straight parallel conductors carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ $(I_1 > I_2)$. When the direction of $I_1$ and $I_2$ is the same,the magnetic field intensity midway between the two conductors is $20 \mu T$. If the direction of $I_2$ is reversed,the field intensity becomes $50 \mu T$. The ratio $I_2 / I_1$ is:
