The magnetic induction at any point due to a long straight wire carrying a current is

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

$A$ circular loop and an infinitely long straight conductor carry equal currents,as shown in the figure. The net magnetic field at the centre of the loop is $B_1$,when the current in the loop is clockwise and $B_2$ when the current in the loop is anti-clockwise. Then $\frac{B_1}{B_2}$ is

Two concentric coplanar circular loops of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ carry currents $i_1$ and $i_2$ in opposite directions (one clockwise and the other anticlockwise). The magnetic induction at the center of the loops is half that due to $i_1$ alone at the center. If $r_2 = 2r_1$,find the value of $\frac{i_2}{i_1}$.
