SECTION – 2 : Comprehension type (Only One Option Correct)

This section contains 3 paragraphs, each describing theory, experiments, data etc. Six questions relate to the three paragraphs with two questions on each paragraph. Each question has only one correct answer among the four given options

A
, current in wire 1 and wire 2 is the direction PQ and RS, respectively and h a
B
, current in wire 1 and wire 2 is the direction PQ and SR, respectively and h a
C
and current in wire 1 and wire 2 is the direction PQ and SR, respectively and h 1.2a
D
. Paragraph for Questions (i) & (ii) The figure shows a circular loop of radius a with two long parallel wires (numbered 1 and 2) all in the plane of the paper. The distance of each wire from the centre of the loop is d. The loop and the wires are carrying the same current I. The current in the loop is in the counterclockwise direction if seen from above. (i) When d a but wires are not touching the loop, it is found that the net magnetic field on the axis of the loop is zero at a height h above the loop. In that case current in wire 1 and wire 2 is the direction PQ and RS, respectively and h 1.2a (ii) Consider d >> a, and the loop is rotated about its diameter parallel to the wires by 30° from the position shown in the figure. If the currents in the wires are in the opposite directions, the torque on the loop at its new position will be (assume that the net field due to the wires is constant over the loop)

The correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.

(i) The net magnetic field at the given point will be zero if.

The direction of magnetic field at the given point due to the loop is normally out of the plane. Therefore, the net magnetic field due the both wires should be into the plane. For this current in wire I should be along PQ and that in wire RS should be along SR.

(ii)
