- D from to
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) from to
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Using Kirchoff's junction law which is based upon the law of conservation of charge, Net charge accumulation at any junction is zero, therefore, ∑i=1n=I1+I2+……+In At junction P, +5 A++4 A+-3 A+-5 A+IP=0⇒IP=1 A Therefore, the…

- As shown in the figure, two infinitely long straight parallel wires \(P\) and \(Q\) carrying equal currents in opposite directions are arranged parallel to \(\mathrm{Y}\)-axis. If the magnetic field due to wire \(\mathrm{P}\) at the origin ' \(\mathrm{O}\) ' of the co-ordinate system is B, then match the resultant magnetic fields at various points given in column \(A\) with the points given in column \(B\).
