Reason (R): In a magnetic field, orbital radius is equal to .
A 2.0 cm segment of wire, carrying 5.0 A current in positive y-direction lies along the y-axis, as shown in the figure. The magnetic field at a point (3 m, 4 m, 0) due to this segment (part of a circuit) is:

Find the direction and value of current that has to be maintained in the wire so that the net magnetic field at O is zero.
A current-carrying coil is placed in an external uniform magnetic field. The coil is free to turn in the magnetic field. What is the net force acting on the coil? Obtain the orientation of the coil in stable equilibrium. Show that in this orientation the flux of the total field (field produced by the loop + external field) through the coil is maximum.
A coil of 60 turns and area carrying a current of 2 A lies in a vertical plane. It experiences a torque of 0.12 Nm when placed in a uniform horizontal magnetic field. The torque acting on the coil changes to 0.05 Nm after the coil is rotated about its diameter by 90°. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field.
(i) the radius of the turns of the solenoid is increased,
(ii) the length of the solenoid as well as the total number of its turns are doubled?
Reason (R): The coil of a galvanometer is suspended in a uniform radial magnetic field.
