The magnitude F of the force between two straight parallel current carrying conductors kept at a distance d apart in air is given by F=μ02πI1I2d, where I1 and I2 are the currents flowing through the two wires. Use this expression, and the sign convention that the: "Force of attraction is assigned a negative sign and force of repulsion is assigned a positive sign". Draw graphs showing dependence of F on

(i) I1I2 when d is kept constant.

The current flowing in the galvanometer G when the key k2 is kept open is I. On closing the key k2 , the current in the galvanometer becomes In, where n is an integer. Obtain an expression for resistance Rg of the galvanometer in terms of R,S and n. To what form does this expression reduce when the value of R is very large as compared to S ?
