$A$ long wire $AB$ is placed on a table. Another wire $PQ$ of mass $1.0\, g$ and length $50\, cm$ is set to slide on two rails $PS$ and $QR$. $A$ current of $50\, A$ is passed through the wires. At what distance above $AB$ will the wire $PQ$ be in equilibrium? (in $mm$)

$A$ massless square loop of wire with resistance $10\,\Omega$ supports a mass of $1\,g$. It hangs vertically with one of its sides in a uniform magnetic field of $10^3\,G$,directed outwards in the shaded region. $A$ $DC$ voltage $V$ is applied to the loop. For what value of $V$ will the magnetic force exactly balance the weight of the supporting mass of $1\,g$? (Given: side length of the loop $= 10\,cm$,$g = 10\,m/s^2$)
