(N/A) $(1)$ If $\theta = 0^{\circ}$,then $\sin 0^{\circ} = 0$,which implies $dB = 0$. This means the magnetic field is zero at points located on the axis of the current element.
$(2)$ If $\theta = 90^{\circ}$,then $\sin 90^{\circ} = 1$,which implies $dB$ is maximum. This means the magnetic field due to a current element is maximum in a plane passing through the element and perpendicular to its axis.

Two points $A$ and $B$ on the axis of a circular current loop are at distances of $4 \ cm$ and $3 \sqrt{3} \ cm$ from the centre of the loop. If the ratio of the induced magnetic fields at points $A$ and $B$ is $216: 125$,the radius of the loop is (in $cm$)

Two similar coils each of radius $R$ are lying concentrically with their planes at right angles to each other. The currents flowing in them are $I$ and $2I$. The resultant magnetic field of induction at the centre will be ($\mu_0 =$ Permeability of vacuum).

$A$ current carrying circular coil of radius $R$ produces magnetic fields $B_1$ and $B_2$ at an axial point $P$ at a distance $x$ from its centre and at a point $Q$ placed at its centre respectively. If $B_1 = \frac{B_2}{8}$,the value of $x$ is
