Solution
E = vB = 2 × 103 × 1.5 = 3 × 103V/m.
Two long parallel wires P and Q are held perpendicular to the plane of paper with distance of 5 m between them. If P and Q carry current of 2.5 amp. and 5 amp. respectively in the same direction, then the magnetic field at a point half-way between the wires is

Solution
A wire of length L metre carrying a current ampere is bent in the form of a circle. Its magnitude of magnetic moment will be
-
Solution
If r is the radius of the circle,
then L = πr2 or, r = L2⁄2π
Area = π2 = πL2/4π2 = L2/4π
Two concentric circular coils of ten turns each are situated in the same plane. Their radii are 20 and 40 cm and they carry respectively 0.2 and 0.4 ampere current in opposite direction.The magnetic field in weber/m2 at the centre is

Solution
A portion of a conductive wire is bent in the form of a semicircle of radius r as shown below in fig. At the centre of semicircle, the magnetic induction will be
-
Solution
The straight part will not contribute magnetic field at the centre of the semicircle because every element of the straight part will be 0º or 180º with the line joining the
