A wire carrying current I is tied between points P and Q and is in the shape of a circular arc of radius R due to a uniform magnetic field B (perpendicular to the plane of the paper, as shown in the figure) in the vicinity of the wire. If the wire subtends an angle 2θo at the center of the circle (of which it forms an arch) then the tension in the wire is:

Two long straight parallel wires, carrying (adjustable) currents I1 and I2 , are kept at a distance d apart. If the force F between the two wires is taken as 'positive' when the wires repel each other and 'negative' when the wires attract each other, the graph showing the dependence of F, on the product I1I2 , would be:
