Two parallel long wires carry currents, \( i_1 \) and \( i_2 \) with \( i_1 > i_2 \). When the currents are in same direction, the magnetic field at a point midway between them is \( 10 \mu \text{T} \). If the direction of \( i_2 \) is reversed, the field becomes \( 30 \mu \text{T} \). The ratio of \( i_1/i_2 \) is:
- A \(4:1\)
- B \(3:1\)
- C \(2:1\)
- D \(1:2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(2:1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( B_1 - B_2 = 10 \, \mu \text{T} \) \( B_1 + B_2 = 30 \, \mu \text{T} \) \( \frac{B_1 + B_2}{B_1 - B_2} = \frac{30}{10} = 3 \) \( B_1 + B_2 = 3(B_1 - B_2) \) \( 4B_2 = 2B_1 \) \( \frac{i_1}{i_2} = \frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2:1 \)
