The path described by the charged particle entering magnetic field with an angle other than 90 is

• Circular

• Helical

• It obeys inverse cube law.

• it is along the line joining the electron and point of observation.

In Biot – Savart law the direction of dB is always

• along r

• Along dl

• perpendicular to r

• Perpendicular to both dl and r

The magnetic Field near a current carrying conductor is given by

• Coulomb’s law

• Lenz law

• Biot savart law

• Kirchhoff’s law

According to Biot-Savart law, Magnetic field at a point due to current carrying element depends on distance r of a point from Current Element as

• B ∝ r

• B ∝ 1/r

• B ∝ r²

• B ∝ 1/r ²

tesla is the unit of

• magnetic field

• electric field

• electric potential

• electric current

What is the magnetic permeability of free space constant equal to, considering its significance in electromagnetic theory?

• 3.14 x 10^-7 teslas x meters / amps, correlating to the approximation of pi in its formula

• 2 pi x 10^-8 teslas x meters / amps, often mistaken due to its resemblance to the magnetic constant's formula

• 4 pi x 10^-7 teslas x meters / amps, a fundamental constant in electromagnetism

• 6.28 x 10^-7 teslas x meters / amps, representing twice the value of pi in its incorrect form

• 1.2566370614 x 10^-6 henries per meter, another form of expressing the magnetic constant accurately
