B
West-north direction
b (b) When the plane of coil is in $\mathrm{N}$ $-S$ vertical plane and current is passed in clockwise direction, the magnetic field at the centre of coil due to current is directed East to West. Earth's magnetic fleld is south to North.
since the magnetic needle will be in the direction of resultant magnetic field, which will be in the $west-north$ direction.

An infinitely long hollow conducting cylinder with radius $R$ carries a uniform current along its surface. Choose the correct representation of magnetic field $(B)$ as a function of radial distance $(r)$ from the axis of cylinder
A thick uniformly charged hollow cylinder of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ rotates with constant angular speed $\omega $ about its axis $APB$, charge density$ = \rho $
Given that $L >>> a$ $L >>> b$ and $P$ is mid point of $AB$. Choose the incorrect option
For a moving coil galvanometer, the deflection in the coil is $0.05\,rad$ when a current of $10\,mA$ is passed through it. If the torsional constant of suspension wire is $4.0 \times 10^{-5}\,Nm\,rad ^{-1}$, the magnetic field is $0.01\,T$ and the number of turns in the coil is $200$,the area of each turn (in $cm ^2$ ) is :
A moving coil galvanometer has $48$ $turns$ and area of coil is $4 \times {10^{ - 2}}\,{m^2}.$ If the magnetic field is $0.2\, T$, then to increase the current sensitivity by $25\%$ without changing area $(A)$ and field $(B)$ the number of turns should become
A straight wire of diameter $0.5\, mm$ carrying a current of $1\, A$ is replaced by another wire of $1\, mm$ diameter carrying the same current. The strength of magnetic field far away is
A rectangular loop carrying a current $i$ is placed in a uniform magnetic field $B$. The area enclosed by the loop is $A$. If there are n turns in the loop, the torque acting on the loop is given by
A galvanometer having a resistance $G$ and current $I_g$ flowing in it, produces full scale defection. If $S_1$ is the value of shunt which converts it into an ammeter of range $0-I$ and $S_2$ is the value of shunt for range $0-8I$ . Then the ratio $\frac {S_1}{S_2}$ will be
A square current carrying loop is suspended in a uniform magnetic field acting in the plane of the loop. If the force on one arm of the loop is $\overrightarrow F$ the net force on the remaining three arms of the loop is
In a uniform magnetic field of $0.049 \mathrm{~T}$, a magnetic needle performs $20$ complete oscillations in $5$ seconds as shown. The moment of inertia of the needle is $9.8 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2$. If the magnitude of magnetic moment of the needle is $x \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{Am}^2$, then the value of ' $x$ ' is :
