Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): When currents vary with time, Newton’s third law is valid only if momentum carried by the electromagnetic field is taken into account.
Statement (II): Ampere's circuital law does not depend on Biot-Savart’s law.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement (I): When currents vary with time, Newton’s third law is valid only if momentum carried by the electromagnetic field is taken into account.
Statement (II): Ampere's circuital law does not depend on Biot-Savart’s law.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Option B (Statement I is true but Statement II is false) is correct because Newton's third law requires considering momentum in the electromagnetic field, and Ampere's law is derived from Biot-Savart's law.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Option B is correct. Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason doesn't fully explain the assertion. The time period depends on mass and charge, not just mass.

A condenser is charged using a constant current. The ratio of the magnetic field at a distance of and from the axis of condenser [ is the radius of plate] while charging is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
0.043055556
The question is incomplete and does not provide enough information to determine the ratio of the magnetic field. The magnetic field inside a capacitor while charging is proportional to the radius. The ratio is B1/B2 = (r1/R) / 1 = (R/2)/R = 1/2 = 0.5 for r1=R/2 and r2=R. However, this is not one of the options. Assuming the question meant to ask for the ratio of magnetic field at r=R/2 to the magnetic field at the edge of the plate (r=R), then the magnetic field at r=R is B = (mu_0*I*r)/(2*pi*R2) for r<R and B = (mu_0*I)/(2*pi*r) for r>R. At r=R, B = (mu_0*I)/(2*pi*R). At r=R/2, B = (mu_0*I*(R/2))/(2*pi*R2) = (mu_0*I)/(4*pi*R). The ratio is (mu_0*I)/(4*pi*R) / (mu_0*I)/(2*pi*R) = 1/2 = 0.5. Still not in the options. The question likely has an error.
