  • A
    $d\overrightarrow{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} i \left( \frac{d\overrightarrow{l} \times \overrightarrow{r}}{r} \right)$
  • B
    $d\overrightarrow{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} i^2 \left( \frac{d\overrightarrow{l} \times \overrightarrow{r}}{r} \right)$
  • C
    $d\overrightarrow{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} i^2 \left( \frac{d\overrightarrow{l} \times \overrightarrow{r}}{r^2} \right)$

What is the source of a magnetic field?

$A$ direct current is passing through a wire. It is bent to form a coil of one turn. Now,it is further bent to form a coil of two turns but at a smaller radius. Find the ratio of the magnetic induction at the centre of this two-turn coil to that at the centre of the one-turn coil.

Two long straight wires are placed along the $x$-axis and $y$-axis. They carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ respectively. The equation of the locus of points with zero magnetic induction in the magnetic field produced by them is:

Equal current $i$ is flowing in three infinitely long wires along positive $x, y$ and $z$ directions. The magnetic field at a point $(0, 0, -a)$ would be:
