A wire A, bent in the shape of an arc of a circle, carrying a current of 2 A and having radius 2 cm and another wire B, also bent in the shape of arc of a circle, carrying a current of 3 A and having radius of 4 cm, are placed as shown in the figure. The ratio of the magnetic fields due to the wires A and B at the common centre O is:

 Detailed Solution:BA = μ?Iθ / 4πR 
 ⇒ BA/BB = IAθARB / IBθBRA
 ⇒ (2(3π/2)(4)) / (3(π/3)(2))
 ⇒ 6/5
