Question
The direction of mag. field lines close to a straight conductor carrying current will be(a) Along the length of the conductor(b) Radially outward(c) Circular in a plane perpendicular to the conductor(d) Helical
Step 1

A conductor consists of a circular loop of radius $R$ and two long, straight sections as shown in Figure $\mathrm{P} 30.7 .$ The wire lies in the plane of the paper and carries a current $I$ . (a) What is the direction of the magnetic field at the center $r$ . of the loop? (b) Find an expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the loop.
A conductor in the form of a right angle $A B C$ with $A B=3 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $B C=4 \mathrm{~cm}$ carries a current of $10 \mathrm{~A}$. There is a uniform magnetic field of $5 \mathrm{~T}$ perpendicular to the plane of the conductor.
