    A long solenoid of length \( L \) and radius \( r_1 \) having \( N_1 \) turns is surrounded symmetrically by a coil of radius \( r_2 \, (r_2>r_1) \) having \( N_2 \) turns (\( N_2 \ll N_1 \)) around its mid-point. Derive an expression for the mutual inductance of solenoid and coil. Is \( M_{12} = M_{21} \) valid in this case?

        Two small identical metallic balls having charges \( q \) and \( -2q \) are kept far at a separation \( r \). They are brought in contact and then separated at distance \( \frac{r}{2} \). Compared to the initial force \( F \), they will now:

          • attract with a force \( \frac{F}{2} \)
          • repel with a force \( \frac{F}{2} \)
          • repel with a force \( F \)
          • attract with a force \( F \)

          What is displacement current (\( i_d \))? Considering the case of charging of a capacitor, show that \( i_d = \varepsilon_0 \frac{d\Phi_E}{dt} \). What is the value of \( i_d \) for a conductor across which a constant voltage is applied?

              If Bohr’s quantization postulate (angular momentum \( = \frac{nh}{2\pi} \)) is a basic law of nature, it should be equally valid for the case of planetary motion also. Why, then, do we never speak of quantization of orbits of planets around the Sun? Explain.

                  The figure shows three point charges kept at the vertices of triangle ABC. The net electric field, due to this system of charges, at the midpoint M of base BC will be:

                    • \( \frac{q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 l^2} \) pointing along MA
                    • \( \frac{q}{\pi \epsilon_0 l^2} \) pointing along AM
                    • \( \frac{q}{2 \pi \epsilon_0 l^2} \) pointing along AM
