A conducting wire is bent into the form of a square \(ABCD,\) and electrical connections are established in two different ways:
(I) at two adjacent vertices \(A,B\)
(II) at two points \(A,C\) at the ends of a diagonal.
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, \(\frac{B_\text I}{B_\text{II}}=\)
1. \(2\) 2. \(\dfrac12\)
3. \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2}\) 4. \(1\)

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 long current-carrying solenoid produces a magnetic field \(B\) at its centre, \(O\). When a current-carrying wire is placed parallel to the axis of the solenoid, the field at \(O\) has the magnitude \(2B\). The field due to wire has the magnitude (at \(O\)) of:
1. \(B\) 2. \(3B\)
3. \(\dfrac {B} {\sqrt3}\) 4. \(\sqrt 3~ B\)

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.
