Discuss special cases of the Biot-Savart law.
(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.

$A$ long conducting wire having a current $I$ flowing through it is bent into a circular coil of $N$ turns. Then it is bent into a circular coil of $n$ turns. The magnetic field is calculated at the centre of the coils in both cases. The ratio of the magnetic field in the first case to that of the second case is:
Two long straight parallel conductors carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ $(I_1 > I_2)$. When the direction of $I_1$ and $I_2$ is the same,the magnetic field intensity midway between the two conductors is $20 \mu T$. If the direction of $I_2$ is reversed,the field intensity becomes $50 \mu T$. The ratio $I_2 / I_1$ is:
