N equally spaced charges each of value q , are placed on a circle of radius R . The circle rotates about its axis with an angular velocity \(\omega\) as shown in the figure. A bigger Amperian loop B encloses the whole circle where as a smaller Amperian loop A encloses a small segment. The difference between enclosed currents, \(I_A-I_B\), for the given Amperian loops is:JEE Mains 2025 Medium - A satellite of mass \(M\) is in a circular orbit of radius \(R\) about the centre of the earth.
