(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 circular coils $P$ and $Q$ of $100$ turns each have the same radius of $\pi \text{ cm}$. The currents in $P$ and $Q$ are $1 \text{ A}$ and $2 \text{ A}$ respectively. $P$ and $Q$ are placed with their planes mutually perpendicular and their centers coinciding. The resultant magnetic field induction at the center of the coils is $\sqrt{x} \text{ mT}$,where $x = \_\_\_$.

The magnetic field at the centre of a current-carrying circular coil of radius $R$ is $B_c$ and the magnetic field at a point on its axis at a distance $R$ from its centre is $B_a$. The value of $\frac{B_c}{B_a}$ is

The magnetic field at the centre $O$ of a square loop of side $a$ carrying current $I$ as shown in the figure is:

Two identical circular wires of radius $20\,cm$ and carrying current $\sqrt{2}\,A$ are placed in perpendicular planes as shown in the figure. The net magnetic field at the centre of the circular wires is $.............\times 10^{-8}\,T$. (Take $\pi=3.14$ )

$A$ long solenoid with $1000 \, \text{turns/m}$ has a core material with relative permeability $500$ and volume $10^{3} \, \text{cm}^{3}$. If the core material is replaced by another material having relative permeability of $750$ with the same volume, maintaining the same current of $0.75 \, \text{A}$ in the solenoid, the fractional change in the magnetic moment of the core would be approximately $\left(\frac{x}{499}\right)$. Find the value of $x$.
