What is a current element?

The direction of the magnetic field at a point P above the wire carrying currents shown in the figure is

A current is flowing north along a power line. The direction of the magnetic field above it, neglecting the earth's field, is towards,

Equal currents flow in two wires along as shown. Match the following.
Table-1 | Table-2 | ||
---|---|---|---|
a. | The magnetic field in the first quadrant | p. | inwards |
b. | The magnetic field in the second quadrant | q. | outwards |
c. | The magnetic field in the third quadrant | r. | Maybe inwards or outwards |
d. | The magnetic field in the fourth quadrant | s. | Zero |

Two infinitely long, thin, insulated straight wires lie in the plane along the and -axes respectively. Each wire carries a current , respectively in the positive -direction and the positive -direction. Find the locus of a point in this plane where the magnetic field is zero.

Magnetic field at the centre (at nucleus) of hydrogen like atoms (atomic number ) due to motion of electron in orbit is proportional to
