$A$ long straight wire of radius $r$ carries a steady current $I$. The current is uniformly distributed over its cross-section. The ratio $\left(\frac{B}{B^1}\right)$ of the magnetic field $B$ and $B^1$ at radial distances $\frac{r}{2}$ and $3r$ respectively,from the axis of the wire is:

Current $I$ is flowing in a conductor shaped as shown in the figure. The radius of the curved part is $r$ and the length of the straight portions is very large. The value of the magnetic field at the centre $O$ will be

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

$A$ long curved conductor carries a current $I$. $A$ small current element of length $dl$ on the wire induces a magnetic field at a point away from the current element. If the position vector between the current element and the point is $\vec{r}$,making an angle $\theta$ with the current element,then the induced magnetic field density $d\vec{B}$ at the point is $(\mu_0 = \text{permeability of free space})$:
