An infinitely long straight current carrying wire produces a magnetic field B at a point at a distance 'a' from it. What must be the radius of the circular loop, so that for the same current through it the magnetic field at (II) an axial point, distant equal to the radius of the loop equals B?

In a potato race a bucket is placed at the starting point which is 5 m from the first potato and the other potatoes are placed 3 m apart in a straight line.There are ten potatoes in the line(see fig.below). A competitors starts from the bucket picks up the nearest potato,runs back with it,drops it in the bucket,runs back up the next potato,runs to the bucket to drop it in and she continues in the same way until all the potatoes are in the bucket.What is the distance the competitor has to run?

A LASER is a source- of very intense, monochromatic, and unidirectional beam of light. These properties of a laser light can be exploited to measure long distances. The distance of the Moon from the Earth has been already determined very precisely using a laser as a source 'of light. A laser light beamed at the Moon takes 2.56 s to return after reflection at the Moon’s surface. How much is the radius of the lunar orbit around the Earth?
