Q1. A metallic loop is placed in a magnetic field. If a current is passed through it, then

•  The ring will feel a force of attraction
•  The ring will feel a force of repulsion
•  Will move to and from about its centre of gravity
•  None of these

None of these

Q2. Magnetic fields at two points on the axis of a circular coil at a distance of 0.05 m and 0.2m from the centre are in the ratio 8 : 1. The radius of the coil is

•  1.0 m
•  1.0 m
•  0.15 m
•  0.2 m

1.0 m

Q3. Two concentric co-planar circular loops of radii r₁ and r₂ carry currents of respectively i₁ and i₂ in opposite directions (one clockwise and other anticlockwise). The magnetic induction at the centre of the loops is half due to i₁ alone at the centre. If r₂ = 2 r₁, the value of i₂ / i₁ is

•  2
•  1/2
•  1/4
•  1

1

Q4. A circular loop is kept in that vertical plane which contains the north-south direction. It carries a current that is towards north at the topmost point. Let A be a point on the axis of the circle to the east of it and B a point on this axis to the west of it. The magnetic field due to the loop

•  Is towards east at A and towards west at B
•  Is towards west at A and towards east at B
•  Is towards east at both A and B
•  Is towards west at both A and B

Is towards west at both A and B

Q5. The magnetic field midway between two parallel current carrying wires, carrying currents i and 2i is B. If the current in the wire with current i is switched off, the magnetic field will become
