Two concentric circular coils $X$ and $Y$ of radii $16\; cm$ and $10\; cm$ respectively,lie in the same vertical plane containing the north to south direction. Coil $X$ has $20$ turns and carries a current of $16\; A$. Coil $Y$ has $25$ turns and carries a current of $18\; A$. The sense of the current in $X$ is anticlockwise,and clockwise in $Y$,for an observer looking at the coils facing west. Give the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field due to the coils at their centre.

  • A
    $5.34 \times 10^{-3}\; T$ (towards North)
  • B
    $7.24 \times 10^{-3}\; T$ (towards West)
  • C
    $1.57 \times 10^{-3}\; T$ (towards West)
  • D
    $1.57 \times 10^{-3}\; T$ (towards East)

Find the magnetic field at point $P$ due to a straight line segment $AB$ of length $6\, cm$ carrying a current of $5\, A$. (See figure) $(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\, T\cdot m/A)$

$A$ circular loop is kept in the vertical plane that contains the north-south direction. It carries a current that is towards the south at the topmost point. Let $A$ be a point on the axis of the circle to the east of it and $B$ be a point on this axis to the west of it. The magnetic field due to the loop is:

Given below are two statements:
Statement $(I)$: When currents vary with time,Newton's third law is valid only if momentum carried by the electromagnetic field is taken into account.
Statement $(II)$: Ampere's circuital law does not depend on Biot-Savart's law.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Two very thin metallic wires placed along $X$ and $Y$-axis carry equal currents as shown in the figure. $AB$ and $CD$ are lines at $45^\circ$ with the axes,with the origin of the axes at $O$. The magnetic field will be zero on the line:

$A$ circular coil of radius '$r$' and number of turns '$n$' carries a current '$I$'. The magnetic fields at a small distance '$h$' along the axis of the coil $(B_a)$ and at the centre of the coil $(B_c)$ are measured. The relation between $B_c$ and $B_a$ is
