A straight wire of length $\left(\pi^2\right)$  metre is carrying a current of $2A$ and the magnetic field due to it is measured at a point distant $1 \ cm$ from it. If the wire is to be bent into a circle and is to carry the same current as before, the ratio of the magnetic field at its centre to that obtained in the first case would be

Consider the two idealized systems: (i) a parallel plate capacitor with large plates and small separation and (ii) a long solenoid of length L > > R, radius of cross-section. In (i) E is ideally treated as a constant between plates and zero outside. In (ii) magnetic field is constant inside the solenoid and zero outside. These idealised assumptions, however, contradict fundamental laws as below:
