Question
  1. Derive the expression for the torque acting on the rectangular current carrying coil of a galvanometer. Why is the magnetic field made radial?
  2. An $\alpha-$particle is accelerated through a potential difference of 10kV and moves along x-axis. It enters in a region of uniform magnetic field B = 2 × 10–3T acting along y-axis. Find the radius of its path. (Take mass of $\alpha-$particle = 6.4 × 10–27kg).

Answer

  1.  

$\text{PQ}=\text{RS}=1$

$\text{PS}=\text{QR}=\text{b}$

Area $\text{A}=\text{lb}$

$\vec{\text{M}}\times\vec{\text{IA}}$

$\overrightarrow{\text{F}_{\text{PQ}}}=\text{IlB}\otimes$

$\overrightarrow{\text{F}_{\text{RS}}}=\text{IlB}\ominus$

$\overrightarrow{\text{F}_{\text{QR}}}=\text{IbB}\sin(90^\circ-\theta)=\text{IbB}\cos\theta\text{ up}$

$\overrightarrow{\text{F}_{\text{SP}}}=\text{IbB}\sin(90^\circ-\theta)=\text{IbB}\cos\theta\text{ down}$

Only $\overrightarrow{\text{F}_{\text{PB}}}\ \& \ \overrightarrow{\text{F}_{\text{RS}}}$ form a couple to apply torque on loop,

$\tau=\text{MB}\sin\theta$

Magnetic field is taken radial in Galvanometer coil in order to create $\theta=90^\circ$ at every orientation of coil in the magnetic field so that current varies linearly with deflection.

  1. $\text{qV}=\frac{1}{2}\text{mv}^2$

$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\sqrt{\frac{2\text{qV}}{\text{m}}}$

$\because\vec{\text{v}}=\text{vi}\perp\vec{\text{B}}(=\text{Bj})$

$\therefore$ Particle deflects along circular path of radius $\text{r}=\frac{\text{mv}}{\text{qB}}=\frac{\text{m}}{\text{qB}}\sqrt{\frac{2\text{qv}}{\text{m}}}=\frac{1}{\text{B}}\sqrt{\frac{2\text{mv}}{\text{q}}}$

$\text{r}=\frac{1}{2\times10^{-3}}\sqrt{\frac{2\times6.4\times10^{-27}\times10^4}{2\times1.6\times10^{-19}}}$

$=\frac{1}{2\times10^{-3}}\times2\times10^{-2}$

$=10^1\text{m}=10\text{m}.$

In a Young's double slit experiment using monochromatic light, the fringe pattern shifts by a certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet of refractive index 1.6 and thickness 1.964 micron (1 micron = 10-6m) is introduced in the path of one of the interfering waves. The mica sheet is then removed and the distance between the screen and the slits is doubled. It is found that the distance between the successive maxima now is the same as the observed fringe-shift upon the introduction of the mica sheet. Calculate the wavelength of the monochromatic light used in the experiment.
