Two identical long parallel wires carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ such that $I_1 > I_2$. When the currents are in the same direction,the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires is $6 \times 10^{-6} \ T$. If the direction of $I_2$ is reversed,the field becomes $3 \times 10^{-5} \ T$. The ratio $\left(\frac{I_1}{I_2}\right)$ is-

  • A
    $\frac{3}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{2}$

$A$ long solenoid with $1000 \, \text{turns/m}$ has a core material with relative permeability $500$ and volume $10^{3} \, \text{cm}^{3}$. If the core material is replaced by another material having relative permeability of $750$ with the same volume, maintaining the same current of $0.75 \, \text{A}$ in the solenoid, the fractional change in the magnetic moment of the core would be approximately $\left(\frac{x}{499}\right)$. Find the value of $x$.
