A straight segment OC(of length L meter) of a circuit carrying a current I amp is placed along the x- axis ( fig.). Two infinitely long straight wires A and B , each extending from z = -oo to +oo , are fixed at y = -a meter and y = +a meter respectively, as shown in the figure. If the wires A and B each carry a current I amp into the plane of the paper, obtain the expression for the force acting on the segment OC. What will be the force on OC if the current in the wire B is reversed?

A wire of length 36 cm is cut into two pieces . One of the pieces is to be made into a square and the other into a equilaterel triangle. Find the length of each piece so that the sum of the areas of the square and the triangle is minimum.

A wire of length 28cm is to be cut into two pieces, one of the pieces is made into a square and other into an equilateral triangle. What should be the lengths of the two pieces so that the combines area of both square and an equilateral triangle is minimum.

A wire of length 25 cm is to be cut into two pieces, one of the pieces is made into a square and other into an equilateral triangle. What should be the lengths of the two pieces so that the combined area of both square and an equilateral triangle is minimum

A wire 10 meter long is cut into two parts. One part is bent into the shape of a circle and the other into the shape of an equilateral triangle. How should the wire be cut so that the combined area of the two figures is as small as possible?

In figure S is a monochromatic point source emitting light of wavelength lambda=500 nm. A thin lens of circular shape and focal length 0.10 m is cut into two identical halves L_(1) and L_(2) by a plane passing through a doameter. The two halves are placed symmetrically about the central axis SO with a gap of 0.5 mm. The distance along the axis from A to L_(1) and L_(2) is 0.15 m , while that from L_(1) and L_(2) to O is 1.30 m. The screen at O is normal to SO. (a) If the 3^(rd) intensity maximum occurs at point P on screen, find distance OP.
