Two parallel conductors,each $50 \ m$ long,separated by $0.2 \ m$,experience a force of $1 \ N$. If the current in the first conductor is twice that of the second conductor,what is the current in the second conductor (in $A$)? (Given: $\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ T \cdot m/A$)

Two wires $A$ and $B$ are carrying currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ as shown in the figure. The separation between them is $d$. $A$ third wire $C$ carrying a current $I$ is to be kept parallel to them at a distance $x$ from $A$ such that the net force acting on it is zero. The possible values of $x$ are

$A$ rectangular loop of wire,supporting a mass $m$,hangs with one end in a uniform magnetic field $\vec B$ pointing into the plane of the paper. $A$ clockwise current $i$ is set up such that $i > mg/Ba$,where $a$ is the width of the loop. Then:

$A$ semi-circular current-carrying wire having radius $R$ is placed in the $x-y$ plane with its centre at the origin $O$. $A$ non-uniform magnetic field $\vec B = \frac{B_o x}{2R} \hat k$ (where $B_o$ is a positive constant) exists in the region. The magnetic force acting on the semi-circular wire will be along:
