A long straight wire along the $z-$ axis carries a current $I$ in the negative $z$ direction. The magnetic field vector $\vec B$ at a point having coordinates $(x, y)$ in the $z = 0$ plane is
  • A$\frac{{{\mu _0}I\left( {y\hat i - x\hat j} \right)}}{{2\pi \left( {{x^2} + {y^2}} \right)}}$
  • B$\frac{{{\mu _0}I\left( {x\hat i + y\hat j} \right)}}{{2\pi \left( {{x^2} + {y^2}} \right)}}$
  • C$\frac{{{\mu _0}I\left( {x\hat j - y\hat i} \right)}}{{2\pi \left( {{x^2} + {y^2}} \right)}}$
  • D$\frac{{{\mu _0}I\left( {x\hat i - y\hat j} \right)}}{{2\pi \left( {{x^2} + {y^2}} \right)}}$

    A mass spectrometer is a device which select particle of equal mass. An iron with electric charge $q > 0$ and mass $m$ starts at rest from a source $S$ and is accelerated through a potential difference $V$. It passes $\rho$ through a hole into a region of constant magnetic field $\vec B\,$ perpendicular to the plane of the paper as shown in the figure. The particle is deflected by the magnetic field and emerges through the bottom hole at a distance $d$ from the top hole. The mass of the particle is

    A thin ring of $10\, cm$ radius carries a uniformly distributed charge. The ring rotates at a constant angular speed of $40\,\pi \,rad\,{s^{ - 1}}$ about its axis, perpendicular to its plane. If the magnetic field at its centre is $3.8 \times {10^{ - 9}}\,T$, then the charge carried by the ring is close to $\left( {{\mu _0} = 4\pi  \times {{10}^{ - 7}}\,N/{A^2}} \right)$
