Two parallel long wires carry currents $i_1$ and $i_2$ with $i_1 > i_2$. When the currents are in the same direction,the magnetic field midway between the wires is $10 \, \mu T$. When the direction of $i_2$ is reversed,it becomes $40 \, \mu T$. The ratio $i_1/i_2$ is

  • A
    $3 : 4$
  • B
    $11 : 7$
  • C
    $7 : 11$
  • D
    $5 : 3$

One of the two small circular coils (neither having any self-inductance) is suspended with a $V$-shaped copper wire,with its plane horizontal. The other coil is placed just below the first one with its plane horizontal. Both coils are connected in series with a $dc$ supply. The coils are found to attract each other with a force. Which one of the following statements is incorrect?

Answer the following questions:
$(a)$ $A$ magnetic field that varies in magnitude from point to point but has a constant direction (east to west) is set up in a chamber. $A$ charged particle enters the chamber and travels undeflected along a straight path with constant speed. What can you say about the initial velocity of the particle?
$(b)$ $A$ charged particle enters an environment of a strong and non-uniform magnetic field varying from point to point both in magnitude and direction,and comes out of it following a complicated trajectory. Would its final speed equal the initial speed if it suffered no collisions with the environment?
$(c)$ An electron travelling west to east enters a chamber having a uniform electrostatic field in north to south direction. Specify the direction in which a uniform magnetic field should be set up to prevent the electron from deflecting from its straight line path.

If two protons are moving with speed $v = 4.5 \times 10^{5} \, m/s$ parallel to each other,then the ratio of electrostatic and magnetic force between them is:

Two straight long conductors $AOB$ and $COD$ are perpendicular to each other and carry currents $i_1$ and $i_2$. The magnitude of the magnetic induction at a point $P$ at a distance $a$ from the point $O$ in a direction perpendicular to the plane $ACBD$ is

Six point charges,each of magnitude $q$,are arranged in different manners as shown in the image. In each case,a point $M$ and a line $PQ$ passing through $M$ are shown. Let $E$ be the electric field and $V$ be the electric potential at $M$ (potential at infinity is zero) due to the given charge distribution when it is at rest. Now,the whole system is set into rotation with a constant angular velocity about the line $PQ$. Let $B$ be the magnetic field at $M$ and $\mu$ be the magnetic moment of the system in this condition. Assume each rotating charge to be equivalent to a steady current. Match the conditions in Column $I$ with the configurations in Column $II$.
Column $I$Column $II$
$(A)$ $E=0$$(p)$ Charges at corners of a regular hexagon. $M$ is the centre. $PQ$ is perpendicular to the plane.
$(B)$ $V \neq 0$$(q)$ Charges on a line perpendicular to $PQ$ at equal intervals. $M$ is the mid-point.
$(C)$ $B=0$$(r)$ Charges on two coplanar concentric rings. $M$ is the common centre. $PQ$ is perpendicular to the plane.
$(D)$ $\mu \neq 0$$(s)$ Charges at corners and mid-points of a rectangle. $M$ is the centre. $PQ$ is parallel to the longer sides.
$(t)$ Charges on two coplanar,identical rings. $M$ is the mid-point between centres. $PQ$ is perpendicular to the line joining centres.
