i) A circular coil with radius 20 cm is placed with it’s plane parallel and between two straight wires P and Q. The coil carries current Icoil = 0.5A . Icoil is in clockwise direction when viewed from left side. Wire P is located 40 cm to the left of a circular coil and carries current Ip = 0.2A while wire Q is located 80 cm to the right of the circular coil and carries current IQ = 0.6A. Both...
