Two very long,straight and insulated wires are kept at a $90^o$ angle from each other in the $xy$-plane as shown in the figure. These wires carry a current of equal magnitude $I$,whose directions are shown in the figure. The net magnetic field at point $P$ will be:

  • A
    $\frac{{{\mu _0}I}}{{2\pi d}}\left( {\hat x + \hat y} \right)$
  • B
    $\frac{{ + {\mu _0}I}}{{\pi d}}\left( {\hat z} \right)$
  • C
    Zero
  • D
    $-\frac{{{\mu _0}I}}{{2\pi d}}\left( {\hat x + \hat y} \right)$

Which of the following is a vector quantity?

Two concentric circular coils $X$ and $Y$ of radii $16\; cm$ and $10\; cm$ respectively,lie in the same vertical plane containing the north to south direction. Coil $X$ has $20$ turns and carries a current of $16\; A$. Coil $Y$ has $25$ turns and carries a current of $18\; A$. The sense of the current in $X$ is anticlockwise,and clockwise in $Y$,for an observer looking at the coils facing west. Give the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field due to the coils at their centre.
