Two straight infinitely long current-carrying wires are kept along the $z-$axis at the coordinates $(0, a, 0)$ and $(0, -a, 0)$ respectively, as shown in the figure. The current in each wire is equal and directed along the negative $z-$axis (into the plane of the paper). The variation of the magnetic field on the $x-$axis will be approximately:

Two concentric coils each of radius equal to $2\pi \, cm$ are placed at right angles to each other. $3 \, A$ and $4 \, A$ are the currents flowing in each coil respectively. The magnetic induction in $Wb/m^2$ at the centre of the coils will be $(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, Wb/A \cdot m)$.

Two identical long conducting wires $AOB$ and $COD$ are placed at a right angle to each other,with one above the other such that $O$ is their common point. The wires carry currents $I_1$ and $I_2$,respectively. Point $P$ lies at a distance $d$ from $O$ along a direction perpendicular to the plane containing the wires. The magnetic field at point $P$ will be:

Consider two thin identical conducting wires covered with very thin insulating material. One of the wires is bent into a loop and produces a magnetic field $B_1$ at its centre when a current $I$ passes through it. The second wire is bent into a coil with three identical loops adjacent to each other and produces a magnetic field $B_2$ at the centre of the loops when a current $I/3$ passes through it. The ratio $B_1 : B_2$ is
