A proton beam is going from north to south and an electron beam is going from south to north. Neglecting the earth's magnetic field, the electron beam will be deflected:

1. towards the proton beam
2. away from the proton beam
3. upwards
4. downwards

Consider the situation shown in the figure. The straight wire is fixed but the loop can move under magnetic force. The loop will:

         

1. remain stationary
2. move towards the wire
3. move away from the wire
4. rotate about the wire

Two parallel wires carry currents of \(20 ~\text A\) and \(40 ~\text A\) in opposite directions. Another wire carrying a current antiparallel to \(20 ~\text A\) is placed midway between the two wires. The magnetic force on it will be:
1. towards \(20 ~\text A\)
2. towards \(40 ~\text A\)
3. zero
4. perpendicular to the plane of the currents

Two parallel, long wires carry currents \(i_1,\) and \(i_2\) with \(i_1 > i_2.\) When the currents are in the same direction, the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires is \(10~\mu \text T.\) If the direction of \(i_2\) is reversed, the field becomes \(30~\mu \text T.\) The ratio of their currents \( i_1/i_2\) is:
1. \(4\)
2. \(3\)
3. \(2\)
4. \(1\)

Consider a long, straight wire of cross-sectional area \(A\) carrying a current \(i.\) Let there be n free electrons per unit volume. An observer places himself on a trolley moving in the direction opposite to the current with a speed \(v=\frac{{i}}{{n}{Ae}}\)and separated from the wire by a distance \(r.\) The magnetic field seen by the observer is very nearly;

1. \(\dfrac{\mu_{0} i}{2 \pi r}\) 
2.  Zero
3. \(\dfrac{\mu_{0} i}{ \pi r}\) 
4. \(\dfrac{2\mu_{0} i}{\pi r}\)
