$A$ beam of neutrons performs circular motion of radius $r = 1 \, m$ under the influence of an inhomogeneous magnetic field with inhomogeneity extending over $\Delta r = 0.01 \, m$. The speed of the neutrons is $54 \, m/s$. The mass and magnetic moment of the neutrons are $1.67 \times 10^{-27} \, kg$ and $9.67 \times 10^{-27} \, J/T$ respectively. The average variation of the magnetic field over $\Delta r$ is approximately ....... $T$.

$A$ semi-circular arc of radius $r$ and a straight wire along the diameter,both are carrying the same current $i$. Find out the magnetic force per unit length on the small element $P$,which is at the center of the diameter.

Two circular coils $P$ and $Q$ are made from similar wire,but the radius of $Q$ is twice that of $P$. What should be the value of the potential difference across them so that the magnetic induction at their centres is the same?

Two parallel wires carry currents $i_1$ and $i_2$ $(i_1 > i_2)$. When the currents are in the same direction,the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires is $10 \, \mu T$. When the direction of $i_2$ is reversed,the magnetic field at that point becomes $30 \, \mu T$. What is the ratio $\frac{i_1}{i_2}$?
