A straight section $PQ$ of a circuit lies along the $X$-axis from $x = - \frac{a}{2}$ to $x = \frac{a}{2}$ and carries a steady current $i$. The magnetic field due to the section $PQ$ at a point $X = + a$ will be

  • A

    Proportional to $a$

  • B

    Proportional to ${a^2}$

  • C

    Proportional to $1/a$

  • D

    Zero

As shown in the figure, two infinitely long, identical wires are bent by $90^o$ and placed in such a way that the segments $LP$ and $QM$ are along the $x-$ axis, while segments $PS$ and $QN$ are parallel to the $y-$ axis. If $OP = OQ = 4\, cm$, and the magnitude of the magnetic field at $O$ is $10^{-4}\, T$, and the two wires carry equal current (see figure), the magnitude of the current in each wire and the direction of the magnetic field at $O$ will be $(\mu_ 0 = 4\pi \times10^{-7}\, NA^{-2})$
