Question
Observe the following diagram and choose the correct alternative:
Options
The intensity of magnetic field in A is larger than in B.
The intensity of magnetic field in B is less than in A.
The intensity of magnetic field A and B is same.
The intensity of magnetic field in A is less than in B.

Solution
The intensity of magnetic field in A is less than in B.
Explanation:
Magnetic field produced due to closed loop
`vec"B" ⇒ vec"B" ∝ "I"`
In diagram (A), I = `5/("R"_1 + "R"_2)`
In diagram (B), I = `5/((("R"_1 "R"_2))/("R"_1 + "R"_2))`
IB > IA so `vec"B"_"B" > vec"B"_"A"`
∴ The intensity of magnetic field in A is less than in B.

The home electrical connection consists of ‘live’, ‘neutral’ and ‘earth’ wires. The ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires have potential difference of 220 V. The ‘earth’ is connected to ground. Due to a fault in the equipment or if the plastic coating on the ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires gives a way the two wires come in contact with each other and a large current flows through it producing heat. If any inflammable material (such as wood, cloth, plastic, etc.) exists around that place it can catch fire. Therefore a fuse wire is used as a precautionary measure.
