Two parallel wires in the plane of the paper are at a distance $X_0$ apart. $A$ point charge is moving with speed $u$ between the wires in the same plane at a distance $X_1$ from one of the wires. When the wires carry current of magnitude $I$ in the same direction, the radius of curvature of the path of the point charge is $R_1$. In contrast, if the currents $I$ in the two wires have directions opposite to each other, the radius of curvature of the path is $R_2$. If $\frac{X_0}{X_1}=3$, the value of $\frac{R_1}{R_2}$ is:

$A$ non-conducting disc of radius $R$ has a surface charge density which varies with distance from the centre as $\sigma(r) = \sigma_0 \left[1 + \sqrt{\frac{r}{R}}\right]$,where $\sigma_0$ is a constant. The disc rotates about its axis with angular velocity $\omega$. If $B$ is the magnitude of magnetic induction at the centre,then $\frac{B}{\mu_0 \sigma_0 \omega R}$ will be

$A$ current passing through a circular coil of two turns produces a magnetic field $B$ at its centre. The coil is then rewound so as to have four turns and the same current is passed through it. The magnetic field at its centre now is
