Q1easy

An infinitely long straight conductor carries a current of 5A5\,\text{A}. What is the magnetic field strength at a point 2cm2\,\text{cm} away from the conductor? (Given: μ0=4π×107,Tm/A\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7},\text{T}\cdot\text{m/A})

Q2medium

A circular coil of radius RR has NN turns and carries a current II. The magnetic field at its center is B0B_0. If the current is doubled and the number of turns is halved, what will be the new magnetic field at the center?

Q3easy

A long solenoid has 1000 turns per meter and carries a current of 2A2\,\text{A}. What is the magnetic field inside the solenoid? (Given: μ0=4π×107,Tm/A\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7},\text{T}\cdot\text{m/A})

Q4medium

Two parallel wires, P and Q, are placed 10cm10\,\text{cm} apart. Wire P carries a current of 5A5\,\text{A} into the page, and wire Q carries a current of 10A10\,\text{A} out of the page. What is the direction of the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires?

Q5medium

Which of the following statements about Ampere's Circuital Law is INCORRECT?

Q6easy

A current II flows along a long straight wire. A rectangular loop is placed near the wire as shown. If the loop is moved away from the wire with a constant velocity, what happens to the magnetic flux through the loop?
