(b) Oersted, Law is the law that a steady electric current creates a magnetic fieldaround it This was discovered on April $21,$ $1820,$ by Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted when he noticed that the needle of a compass next to a wire carrying current turned so that the needle was perpendicular to the wire. Oersted investigated and found the mathematical law which governs how strong the field was, which is now called Oersted's law.

    A particle of mass $m$ and charge $\mathrm{q}$, moving with velocity $\mathrm{V}$ enters Region $II$ normal to the boundary as shown in the figure. Region $II$ has a uniform magnetic field B perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The length of the Region $II$ is $\ell$. Choose the correct choice$(s)$.

    $(A)$ The particle enters Region $III$ only if its velocity $V>\frac{q / B}{m}$

    $(B)$ The particle enters Region $III$ only if its velocity $\mathrm{V}<\frac{\mathrm{q} / \mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{m}}$

    $(C)$ Path length of the particle in Region $II$ is maximum when velocity $V=\frac{q / B}{m}$

    $(D)$ Time spent in Region $II$ is same for any velocity $V$ as long as the particle returns to Region $I$

    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.
