Biot-Savart law indicates that the moving electrons (velocity $\vec{v}$) produce a magnetic field $\vec{B}$ such that

  • A
    $\vec{B} \perp \vec{v}$
  • B
    $\vec{B} \parallel \vec{v}$
  • C
    It obeys the inverse cube law
  • D
    It is along the line joining the electron and the point of observation

When a certain length of wire is turned into one circular loop,the magnetic induction at the centre of the coil due to a current $I$ flowing through it is $B_1$. If the same wire is turned into three loops to make a circular coil,the magnetic induction at the center of this coil for the same current will be:

Consider the magnetic field produced by a long straight current-carrying wire.

$A$ long straight wire carrying a current of $30 \ A$ is placed in an external uniform magnetic field of induction $4 \times 10^{-4} \ T$. The magnetic field is acting parallel to the direction of current. The magnitude of the resultant magnetic induction in tesla at a point $2.0 \ cm$ away from the wire is $(\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ H/m)$.

$A$ circular loop of a wire and a long straight wire carry currents $I_c$ and $I_e$,respectively,as shown in the figure. Assuming that these are placed in the same plane,the magnetic field will be zero at the centre of the loop when the separation $H$ is:

Which convention is used to represent currents and magnetic fields emerging out of a surface?
