In an experiment, set up $A$ consists of two parallel wires which carry currents in opposite directions as shown in the figure. $A$ second set up $B$ is identical to set up $A$, except that there is a metal plate between the wires. Let $F_A$ and $F_B$ be the magnitude of the force between the two wires in setup $A$ and setup $B$, respectively.
A$F_A > F_B \neq 0$
B$F_A < F_B$
C$F_A=F_B \neq 0$
D $F_A > F_B=0$

C$F_A=F_B \neq 0$

Metal plate between wires may modify field pattern within the metal volume but number of field lines is not changed.
So, force between wires is same in both cases and is non-zero.
i.e. $\quad F_A=F_B \neq 0$.

A microammeter has a resistance of $100\,\Omega $ and full scale range of $50\,\mu A$. It can be used as a voltmeter or as a higher range ammeter provided a resistance is added to it. Pick the correct range and resistance combination
A cell is connected between the points $A$ and $C$ of a circular conductor $ABCD$ of centre $O$ with angle $AOC = {60^o}$. If ${B_1}$ and ${B_2}$ are the magnitudes of the magnetic fields at $O$ due to the currents in $ABC$ and $ADC$ respectively, the ratio $\frac{{{B_1}}}{{{B_2}}}$ is
The radius of a circular ring of wire is $R$ and it carries a current of $I\,ampere$. At its centre a smaller ring of radius $r$ with current $i$ and $N\, turns$ is placed. Assuming that the planes of two rings are perpendicular to each other and the magnetic induction produced at the centre of bigger ring is constant, then the torque acting on smaller ring will be
An ammeter gives full deflection when a current of $2\, amp$. flows through it. The resistance of ammeter is $12 \,\Omega$. If the same ammeter is to be used for measuring a maximum current of $5\, amp$., then the ammeter must be connected with a resistance of
A moving coil galvanometer has a resistance of $50\,\Omega $ and gives full scale deflection for $10\, mA$. How could it be converted into an ammeter with a full scale deflection for $1\,A$
The figure shows three situations when an electron with velocity $\vec v$ travels through a nuniform magnetic field $\vec B$ . In each case, what is the direction of magnetic force on the electron?
A long solenoid of radius $2\, cm$ has $100\, turns/cm$ and carries a current of $5\,A$. A coil of radius $1\, cm$ having $100\, turns$ and a total resistance of $20\,\Omega $ is placed inside the solenoid coaxially. The coil is connected to a galvanometer. If the current in the solenoid is reversed in direction, find the charge flown through the galvanometer
A moving coil galvanometer, having a resistance $G$, produces full scale deflection when a current $I_g$ flows through it. This galvanometer can be converted into $(i)$ an ammeter of range $0$ to $I_0 (I_0 > I_g)$ by connecting a shunt resistance $R_A$ to it and $(ii)$ into a voltmeter of range $0$ to $V(V = GI_0)$ by connecting a series resistance $R_V$ to it. Then,
