State Ampere’s circuital law. Consider a long straight wire of a circular cross section (radius a) carrying steady current I. The current I is uniformly distributed across this cross section. Using Ampere’s circuital law, find the magnetic field in the region r < a and r > a.

Two identical current carrying coaxial loops, carry current I in an opposite sense. A simple Amperian loop passes through both of them once. Calling the loop as C,

Quite often, connecting wires carrying currents in opposite directions are twisted together in using electrical appliances. Explain how it avoids unwanted magnetic fields.

A long, straight wire carries a current. Is Ampere’s law valid for a loop that does not enclose the wire, or that encloses the wire but is not circular?

A long, straight wire of radius r carries a current i and is placed horizontally in a uniform magnetic field B pointing vertically upward. The current is uniformly distributed over its cross section.

(a) At what points will the resultant magnetic field have maximum magnitude?

(b) What will be the minimum magnitude of the resultant magnetic field?

A current 10 A is established in a long wire along the positive z-axis. Find the magnetic filed . At the point (1m, 0, 0).

A long, vertical wire carrying a current of 10 A in the upward direction is placed in a region where a horizontal magnetic field of magnitude 2.0 × 10^–3 T exists from south to north. Find the point where the resultant magnetic field is zero.
