A current loop $ABCD$ is held fixed on the plane of the paper as shown in the figure. The arcs $ BC$ (radius $= b$) and $DA $ (radius $= a$) of the loop are joined by two straight wires $AB $  and $CD$. A steady current $I$ is flowing in the loop. Angle made by $AB$ and $CD$ at the origin $O$ is $30^o $. Another straight thin wire with steady current $I_1$ flowing out of the plane of the paper is kept at the origin.

Due to the presence of the current $I_1$ at the origin

KEY CONCEPT: $\vec{F}=I(\vec{\ell} \times \vec{B})$

The force on $A D$ and $B C$ due to current $I_{1}$ is zero. This is because the directions of current element $I \overrightarrow{d \ell}$ and magnetic field $\vec{B}$ are parallel.

    Two identical moving coil galvanometer have $10 \Omega$ resistance and full scale deflection at $2 \mu A$ current. One of them is converted into a voltmeter of $100 mV$ full scale reading and the other into an Ammeter of $1 mA$ full scale current using appropriate resistors. These are then used to measure the voltage and current in the Ohm's law experiment with $R =1000 \Omega$ resistor by using an ideal cell. Which of the following statement( $s$ ) is/are correct?

    $(1)$ The measured value of $R$ will be $978 \Omega$

    $(2)$ The resistance of the Voltmeter will be $100 k \Omega$.

    $(3)$ The resistance of the Ammeter will be $0.02 \Omega$ (round off to $2^{\text {nd }}$ decimal place)

    $(4)$ If the ideal cell is replaced by a cell having internal resistance of $5 \Omega$ then the measured value of $R$ will be more than $1000 \Omega$.

    The current in flowing along the path $A B C D$ of a cube (shown in the left figure) produces a magnetic field at the centre of cube of magnitude $B$. Dashed line depicts the non-conducting part of the cube. Consider a cubical shape shown to the right which is identical in size and shape to the left. If the same current now flows in along the path $D A E F G C D$, then the magnitude of magnetic field at the centre will be
