A long straight wire carries a current along the 'z' axis. One can find two points in the plane

perpendicular to the conductor such that

i) The magnetic fields are equal

ii) The direction of the magnetic fields are perpendicular

iii) Magnitudes of the magnetic fields are equal

 iv) The field at one point is opposite to that at the other point

  1. A

    Only i & ii are true      

  2. B

    Only ii & iii are true

  3. C

    Only ii, iii & iv are true

  4. D

    Only iii & iv are true

    Solution:

    We can observe around a current carrying conductor

       i) the direction of magnetic field are perpendicular to each other and magnitudes may be equal  also we can find the field at one point is opposite to that at the other point as shown in figure.
