A small circular loop of conducting wire has radius $a$ and carries current $I$. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field $\mathrm{B}$ perpendicular to its plane such that when rotated slightly about its diameter and released, it starts performing simple harmonic motion of time period $T$. If the mass of the loop is $m$ then
- A
$\mathrm{T}=\sqrt{\frac{\pi \mathrm{m}}{2 \mathrm{IB}}}$
- B
$\mathrm{T}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{IB}}}$
- C
$\mathrm{T}=\sqrt{\frac{\pi \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{IB}}}$
- D
$\mathrm{T}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{IB}}}$
Answer$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{T}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{M}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=-\mathrm{MB} \sin \theta$
$\mathrm{I} \alpha=-\mathrm{MB} \sin \theta$
for small $\theta$
$\alpha=-\frac{\mathrm{MB}}{\mathrm{I}} \theta$
$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{MB}}{\mathrm{I}}}=\sqrt{\frac{(\mathrm{I})\left(\pi \mathrm{R}^{2}\right) \mathrm{B}}{\left(\frac{\mathrm{mR}^{2}}{2}\right)}}$
$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{I} \pi \mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{m}}}$
$\therefore \mathrm{T}=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{IB}}}$

A moving coil galvanometer, having a resistance $G$, produces full scale deflection when a current $I_g$ flows through it. This galvanometer can be converted into $(i)$ an ammeter of range $0$ to $I_0 (I_0 > I_g)$ by connecting a shunt resistance $R_A$ to it and $(ii)$ into a voltmeter of range $0$ to $V(V = GI_0)$ by connecting a series resistance $R_V$ to it. Then,
- A
${R_A}{R_V} = {G^2}$ and $\,\frac{{{R_A}}}{{{R_V}}} = \frac{{{I_g}}}{{\left( {{I_0} - {I_g}} \right)}}$
- B
${R_A}{R_V} = {G^2}$ and $\,\,\frac{{{R_A}}}{{{R_V}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{I_g}}}{{{I_0} - {I_g}}}} \right)^2}$
- C
${R_A}{R_V} = {G^2}\left( {\frac{{{I_g}}}{{{I_0} - {I_g}}}} \right)\,$ and $\,\,\frac{{{R_A}}}{{{R_V}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{I_0} - {I_g}}}{{{I_g}}}} \right)^2}$
- D
${R_A} - {R_V} = {G^2}\left( {\frac{{{I_0} - {I_g}}}{{{I_g}}}} \right)\,$ and $\,\,\frac{{{R_A}}}{{{R_V}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{I_g}}}{{{I_0} - {I_g}}}} \right)^2}$
AnswerWhen galvanometer is used an ammeter shunt is used in parallel with galvanometer.
$\therefore \quad \mathrm{I}_{g} \mathrm{G}=\left(\mathrm{I}_{0}-\mathrm{I}_{g}\right) \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{A}}$
$\therefore \quad R_{A}=\left(\frac{I_{g}}{I_{0}-I_{g}}\right) G$
When galvanometer is used as a voltmeter, resistance is used in series with galvanometer.
$\mathrm{I}_{g}\left(\mathrm{G}+\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{v}}\right)=\mathrm{V}=\mathrm{GI}_{0}\left(\text { given } \mathrm{V}=\mathrm{GI}_{0}\right)$
$\therefore R_{v}=\frac{\left(I_{0}-I_{g}\right) G}{I_{g}}$
$\therefore \quad {{\text{R}}_{\text{A}}}{{\text{R}}_{\text{v}}} = {{\text{G}}^2}\& \frac{{{{\text{R}}_{\text{A}}}}}{{{{\text{R}}_{\text{v}}}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{{\text{I}}_g}}}{{{{\text{I}}_0} - {{\text{I}}_g}}}} \right)^2}$

The value of the shunt resistance that can cause the deflection of $\theta /2 ,$ is closest to .................. $\Omega$
AnswerFigure of merit of a galvanometer is the current required to produce a deflection of one division in the galvancmeter i.e., figure of merit $=\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\theta}$
$\mathrm{I}=\frac{\varepsilon}{\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{G}} \quad \mathrm{G}=\frac{1}{9}\, \mathrm{K}\, \Omega$

A galvanometer has a $50$ $division$ scale. Battery has no internal resistance. It is found that there is deflection of $40$ $divisions$ when $R = 2400\,\Omega $. Deflection becomes $20$ $divisions$ when resistance taken from resistance box is $4900\,\Omega $ . Then we can conclude

- A
Full scale deflection current is $2\, mA$.
- B
Resistance of galvanometer is $200\,\Omega \,$
- C
Resistance required on $R.B.$ for a deflection of $10$ $divisions$ is $9800\,\Omega \,$
- D
Current sensitivity of galvanometer is $20\,\mu A$ $/ division$
AnswerLet full scale deflection of current $=1$
In case $1,$ when $\mathrm{R}=2400 \Omega$ and deflection of 40 divisions present.
$\therefore \quad \frac{40}{50} \mathrm{I}=\frac{V}{G+R}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{4}{5} \mathrm{I}=\frac{2}{G+2400}\dots (1)$
In case $2,$ when $\mathrm{R}=4900 \Omega$ and deflection of 20 divisions present
$\therefore \quad \frac{20}{50} \mathrm{I}=\frac{V}{G+R}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{2}{5} \mathrm{I}=\frac{2}{G+4900}\dots (2)$
From $(1)$ and $(2)$ we get,
$\frac{4}{2}=\frac{G+4900}{G+2400}$
$\Rightarrow 2 G+4800=G+4900$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{G}=100 \Omega$
Putting value of G in equation (1), we get.
$\frac{4}{5} \mathrm{I}=\frac{2}{100+2400}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{I}=1 \mathrm{mA}$
Current sensitivity $=\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\text { number of divisions }}$
$=\frac{1}{50}$
$=0.02 \mathrm{mA} /$ division
$=20 \mu \mathrm{A} /$ division
Resistance required for deflection of 10 divisions
$\frac{10}{50} \mathrm{I}=\frac{V}{G+R}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{5} \times 1 \times 10^{-3}=\frac{2}{100+R}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{R}=9900 \Omega$

A $50\,\Omega $ resistance is connected to a battery of $5\,V$. A galvanometer of resistance $100\, \Omega $ is to be used as an ammeter to measure current through the resistance, for this a resistance $r_s$ is connected to the galvanometer. Which of the following connections should be employed if the measured current is within $1\% $ of the current without the ammeter in the circuit ?
- A
$r_s = 0.5\, \Omega $ in series with the galvanometer
- B
$r_s = 1\, \Omega $ in series with galvanometer
- C
$r_s = 1\, \Omega $ in parallel with galvanometer
- D
$r_s = 0.5\, \Omega $ in parallel with the galvanometer
AnswerAs we know, $\mathrm{I}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{5}{50}=0.1$
$I' = 0.099$
When Galvanometer is connected
$R_{e q}=50+\frac{100 S}{100+S}=\frac{V}{I}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{100 \mathrm{S}}{100+\mathrm{S}}=\frac{5}{0.099}-50$
$\Rightarrow \frac{100 \mathrm{S}}{100+\mathrm{S}}=50.50-50 \Rightarrow \frac{100 \mathrm{S}}{100+\mathrm{S}}=0.5$
$\Rightarrow 100 \mathrm{S}=50+0.55 \Rightarrow 99.5 \mathrm{S}=50$
$S=\frac{50}{99.05}=0.5 \,\Omega$
So, shunt of resistance $=0.5\, \Omega$ is onnected in parallel with the galvanometer.

To know the resistance $G$ of a galvanometer by half deflection method, a battery of $emf\, V_E$ and resistance $R$ is used to deflect the galvanometer by angle $\theta $. If a shunt of resistance $S$ is needed to get half deflection then $G, R$ and $S$ related by the equation
- A
$S (R+ G) = RG$
- B
$2S (R+G)=RG$
- C
$2G = S$
- D
$2S=G$
AnswerAccording to Ohm's Law, $I$ $=\frac{V}{R}$
$\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{G}}$
where, $I $$_{g}$ - Galvanometer current, $G-$Galvonometer resistance
When shunt of resistance $S$ is connected parallel to the Galvanometer then
$\mathrm{G}=\frac{\mathrm{GS}}{\mathrm{G}+\mathrm{S}}$
$\therefore I=\frac{V}{R+\frac{G S}{G+S}}$
Equal potential difference is given by
$\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}^{\prime} \mathrm{G}=\left(\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{B}}^{\prime}\right) \mathrm{S}$
$\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}^{\prime}(\mathrm{G}+\mathrm{S})=\mathrm{IS}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{IS}}{\mathrm{G}+\mathrm{S}}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{v}}{2(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{G})}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{R}+\frac{\mathrm{GS}}{\mathrm{G}+\mathrm{S}}} \times \frac{\mathrm{S}}{\mathrm{G}+\mathrm{S}}$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{2(R + G)}} = \frac{S}{{R(G + S) + GS}}$
$\Rightarrow R(G+S)+G S=2 S(R+G)$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{RG}+\mathrm{RS}+\mathrm{GS}=2 \mathrm{S}(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{G})$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{RG}=2 \mathrm{S}(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{G})-\mathrm{S}(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{G})$
$\therefore \mathrm{RG}=\mathrm{S}(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{G})$

AnswerWork done in moving the conductor is,
$W=\int_{0}^{2} F d x$
$=\int_{0}^{2} 3.0 \times 10^{-4} e^{-0.2 x} \times 10 \times 3 d x$
$=9 \times 10^{-3} \int_{0}^{2} e^{-0.2 x} d x$
$=\frac{9 \times 10^{-3}}{0.2}\left[-e^{-0.2 \times 2}+1\right] B=3.0 \times 10^{-4} e^{-0.2 x}$
(By exponential function)
$=\frac{9 \times 10^{-3}}{0.2} \times\left[1-e^{-0.4}\right]$
$=9 \times 10^{-3} \times(0.33)=2.97 \times 10^{-3}\, \mathrm{J}$
Power required to move the conductor is, $P=\frac{W}{t}$
$P=\frac{2.97 \times 10^{-3}}{(0.2) \times 5 \times 10^{-3}}=2.97 \,\mathrm{W}$

This questions has Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes into two Statements.
Statement$-I$ : Higher the range, greater is the resistance of ameter.
Statement$-II$ : To increase the range of ammeter, additional shunt needs to be used across it.
- A
Statement$-I$ is true, Statement$-II$ is true, Statement$-II$ is the correct explanation of Statement$-I.$
- B
Statement$-I$ is true, Statement$-II$ is true, Statement$-II$ is not the correct explanation of Statement$-I.$
- C
Statement-$I$ is true, Statement-$II$ is false
- D
Statement-$I$ is false, Statement-$II$ is true.
AnswerStatements $I$ is false and Statement $II$ is true
For ammeter, shunt resistance, $\mathrm{S}=\frac{\mathrm{IgG}}{\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{Ig}}$
Therefore for $I$ to increase, $S$ should decrease, So additional $S$ can be connected across it.

A thin stiff insulated metal wire is bent into a circular loop with its two ends extending tangentially from the same point of the loop. The wire loop has mass $m$ and radius $r$ and it is in a uniform vertical magnetic field $B_0$, as shown in the figure. Initially, it hangs vertically downwards, because of acceleration due to gravity $g$, on two conducting supports at $P$ and $Q$. When a current $/$ is passed through the loop, the loop turns about the line $P Q$ by an angle $\theta$ given by

- A
$\tan \theta=\pi r I B_0 /(m g)$
- B
$\tan \theta=2 \pi r I B_0 /(m g)$
- C
$\tan \theta=\pi r I B_0 /(2 m g)$
- D
$\tan \theta=m g /\left(\pi r / B_0\right)$
AnswerLet loop makes angle $\theta$ with vertical.

A special metal $S$ conducts electricity without any resistance. A closed wire loop, made of $S$, does not allow any change in flux through itself by inducing a suitable current to generate a compensating flux. The induced current in the loop cannot decay due to its zero resistance. This current gives rise to a magnetic moment which in turn repels the source of magnetic field or flux. Consider such a loop, of radius $a$, with its center at the origin. A magnetic dipole of moment $m$ is brought along the axis of this loop from infinity to a point at distance $r \gg a)$ from the center of the loop with its north pole always facing the loop, as shown in the figure below.
The magnitude of magnetic field of a dipole $m$, at a point on its axis at distance $r$, is $\frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi} \frac{m}{r^3}$, where $\mu_0$ is the permeability of free space. The magnitude of the force between two magnetic dipoles with moments, $m_1$ and $m_2$, separated by a distance $r$ on the common axis, with their north poles facing each other, is $\frac{k m_1 m_2}{r^4}$, where $k$ is a constant of appropriate dimensions. The direction of this force is along the line joining the two dipoles.
($1$) When the dipole $m$ is placed at a distance $r$ from the center of the loop (as shown in the figure), the current induced in the loop will be proportional to
$(A)$ $\frac{m}{r^3}$ $(B)$ $\frac{m^2}{r^2}$ $(C)$ $\frac{m}{r^2}$ $(D)$ $\frac{m^2}{r}$
($2$) The work done in bringing the dipole from infinity to a distance $r$ from the center of the loop by the given process is proportional to
$(A)$ $\frac{m}{r^5}$ $(B)$ $\frac{m^2}{r^5}$ $(C)$ $\frac{m^2}{r^6}$ $(D)$ $\frac{m^2}{r^7}$

A circular coil of radius $R$ and $N$ turns has negligible resistance. As shown in the schematic figure, its two ends are connected to two wires and it is hanging by those wires with its plane being vertical. The wires are connected to a capacitor with charge $Q$ through a switch. The coil is in a horizontal uniform magnetic field $B_0$ parallel to the plane of the coil. When the switch is closed, the capacitor gets discharged through the coil in a very short time. By the time the capacitor is discharged fully, magnitude of the angular momentum gained by the coil will be (assume that the discharge time is so short that the coil has hardly rotated during this time)-

AnswerTorque experienced by circular loop $=\overrightarrow{ M } \times \overrightarrow{ B }$

A galvanometer gives full scale deflection with $0.006$ A current. By connecting it to a $4990 \ \Omega$ resistance, it can be converted into a voltmeter of range $0-30 \ V$. If connected to a $\frac{2 n }{249} \Omega$ resistance, it becomes an ammeter of range $0-1.5 \ A$. The value of $n$ is:
Answer$\frac{6}{1000}(G+4990)=30 $
$\Rightarrow G+4990=\frac{30,000}{6}=5000 $
$\Rightarrow G=10 $
$\frac{6}{1000} \times 10=\left(1.5-\frac{6}{1000}\right) S $

A wire-loop of resistance $0.005$ ohm and of radius $0.1 \ m$ is placed inside the tube with its axis coinciding with the axis of the tube. The current varies as $I=I_0 \cos (300 t)$ where $I_0$ is constant. If the magnetic moment of the loop is $N \mu_0 I_0 \sin (300 t)$, then ' $N$ ' is

Answer$l =10 m, r _1=0.3 \ m$
$R =0.005 \Omega, r _2=0.1 \ m$
$I = I _0 \cos (300 t )$
So we get $\omega=300$
The magnetic field of the tube, $B=\frac{\mu_0 NI }{ L }$
In the problem $N =1, \quad L=10 m, \quad I = I _0 \cos (300 t$ )
So, $B=\frac{\mu_0 I_0 \cos (300 t)}{10}$
$Q=\frac{\mu_0 I_0 \cos (300 t)}{10} \times \pi(0.1)^2$
$\text { Induced emf, } e=-\frac{d Q}{d t}=300 \mu_0 \pi I_0 \sin (300 t) \times 10^{-3}$
$e=0.3 \mu_0 \pi I_0 \sin (300 t)$
The current in the ring $i =\frac{ e }{ R }$
$i =\frac{0.3 \pi \mu_0 I _0 \sin (300 t)}{0.005}$
$\text { or } i =60 \mu_0 \pi I _0 \sin (300 t)$
$\text { Magnetic moment, } M = iA = i \pi r ^2$
$M =60 \mu_0 \pi I _0 \sin (300 t) \times \pi(0.1)^2$
$=0.6 \mu_0 \pi^2 I _0 \sin (300 t) A$
$=\left(0.6 \times \pi^2\right) \mu_0 I _0 \sin (300 t)$
$=6 \mu_0 I _0 \sin (300 t)$
So, the value of $N =6$

A particle of charge $+q$ and mass $m$ moving under the influence of a uniform electric field $E\hat i$ and a uniform magnetic field $B\hat k$ follows trajectory from $P$ to $Q$ as shown in figure. The velocities at $P$ and $Q$ are $v\hat i$ and $ - 2v\hat j$ respectively. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct

- A
$E = \frac{3}{4}\frac{{m{v^2}}}{{qa}}$
- B
Rate of work done by electric field at P is $\frac{3}{4}\frac{{m{v^3}}}{a}$
- C
Rate of work done by both the fields at $Q$ is zero
- ✓
Answer(d) Kinetic energy of the particle at point $P = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}$
$K.E.$ of the particle at point $Q = \frac{1}{2}m{(2v)^2}$
Increase in $K.E.$ $ = \frac{3}{2}m{v^2}$
It comes from the work done by the electric force $qE$ on the particle as it covers a distance $2a$ along the $x$-axis. Thus $\frac{3}{2}m{v^2} = qE \times 2a \Rightarrow E = \frac{3}{4}\frac{{m{v^2}}}{{qa}}$. The rate of work done by the electric field at $P$ $ = F \times v = qE \times v = 3\frac{{m{v^3}}}{{4a}}$
At $Q,\;\overrightarrow {{F_e}} = q\overrightarrow E $ is along $x$-axis while velocity is along negative $y$-axis. Hence rate of work done by electric field Similarly, according to equation $\overrightarrow {{F_m}} = q(\overrightarrow {v\,} \times \overrightarrow B )$
Force $\overrightarrow {{F_{\rm{m}}}} $ is also perpendicular to velocity vector .
Hence the rate of work done by the magnetic field = $0$

A circuit contains an ammeter, a battery of $30\,V$ and a resistance $40.8\, ohm$ all connected in series. If the ammeter has a coil of resistance $480\,ohm$ and a shunt of $20\,ohm$, the reading in the ammeter will be .................. $A$
AnswerThe circuit is shown in the figure.
Resistance of the ammeter is
$R_{A}=\frac{(480\, \Omega)(20\, \Omega)}{(480\, \Omega+20\, \Omega)}=19.2\, \Omega$
(As $480 \,\Omega$ and $20\, \Omega$ are in parallel)
As ammeter is in series with $40.8\, \Omega$,
$\therefore \quad$ Total resistance of the circuit is
$R=40.8\, \Omega+R_{A}=40.8\, \Omega+19.2\, \Omega=60\, \Omega$
By Ohm's law,
Current in the circuit is
$I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{30\, \mathrm{V}}{60\, \Omega}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{A}=0.5\, \mathrm{A}$
Thus the reading in the ammeter will be $0.5\, \mathrm{A}$.

$B=0.2\, \mathrm{Wb} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \text { and } \theta=90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=60^{\circ}$
$\therefore \quad \tau =(50)(2\, \mathrm{A})\left(0.012\, \mathrm{m}^{2}\right)\left(0.2\, \mathrm{Wb} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\right) \sin 60^{\circ} $
$=0.20\, \mathrm{N} \mathrm{m}$
