a (a) Every point on line $AB$ will be equidistant from $X $ and $Y$-axis. So magnetic field at every point on line $AB$ due to wire $1$ along $X$-axis is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the magnetic field due to wire along $Y$-axis. Hence ${B_{net}}$ on $AB = 0$

In a mass spectrometer used for measuring the masses of ions, the ions are initially accelerated by an electric potential $V$ and then made to describe semicircular paths of radius $R$ using a magnetic field $B$. If $V$ and $B$ are kept constant, the ratio $\left( {\frac{{{\text{charge on the ion}}}}{{{\text{mass of the ion}}}}} \right)$ will be proportional to
An electron is moving along $+x$ direction with a velocity of $6 \times 10^{6}\, ms ^{-1}$. It enters a region of uniform electric field of $300 \,V / cm$ pointing along $+ y$ direction. The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field set up in this region such that the electron keeps moving along the $x$ direction will be
The ratio of the magnetic field at the centre of a current carrying circular coil to its magnetic moment is $'\alpha '.$ If the current and radius both are doubled then new ratio will become
Two infinite length wires carries currents $8A$ and $6A$ respectively and placed along $X$ and $Y$-axis. Magnetic field at a point $P\,(0,\,0,\,d)\,m$ will be
The average dipole moment of $Fe$ atoms is $1.8 × 10^{-23}\ A-m^2$ . The magnetic moment of an iron rod of length $10\ cm$ and diameter $1\,cm$ is........$A-m^2$ : (density and at. wt. of $Fe$ are $7.87\ g/cm^3$ and $55.87$ )
If the direction of the initial velocity of the charged particle is perpendicular to the magnetic field, then the orbit will be or The path executed by a charged particle whose motion is perpendicular to magnetic field is
