Q. No.A metal “Slinky” can be used as a solenoid. The “Slinky” is stretched slightly, and a current is passed through it. Will the resulting magnetic field cause the “Slinky” to collapse or to stretch out further?
| 1. | collapse |
| 2. | stretch out further |
| 3. | neither, the magnetic field is zero outside a solenoid |
| 4. | the answer depends on the direction of the current |

A conducting wire is bent into the form of a square \(ABCD,\) and electrical connections are established in two different ways:
The same potential difference is established between the two connected ends. Current is, however, allowed to take only a single path from the positive to the negative terminal by disconnecting the other path. Let the magnetic field at the centre in these cases be \(B_\text I,B_\text{II}.\) Then, \(\frac{B_\text I}{B_\text{II}}=\)
| (I) | at two adjacent vertices \(A,B\) |
| (II) | at two points \(A,C\) at the ends of a diagonal. |

Given below are two statements:
| Statement I: | The magnetic field due to a segment \({d\vec l}\) of a current-carrying wire carrying a current, \(I\) is given by: \({d\vec B}=\dfrac{\mu_0}{4\pi}~I\left({d\vec l}\times\dfrac{\vec r}{r^3}\right ),\) where \(\vec{r}\) is the position vector of the field point with respect to the wire segment. |

Two small current-carrying loops carrying currents in the clockwise direction are placed in the same plane, separated by a distance \(d\) (which is much larger than the size of the loops). The two loops:
| 1. | attract each other. |
| 2. | repel each other. |
| 3. | exert no force on each other, but exert a torque. |
| 4. | neither exert any force nor any torque on each other. |
