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 $\text{r}=\frac{\text{mv}}{\text{qB}}=\frac{\text{m}}{\text{qB}}\sqrt{\frac{2\text{qv}}{\text{m}}}=\frac{1}{\text{B}}\sqrt{\frac{2\text{mv}}{\text{q}}}$

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

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

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