  • Towards west.
  • B
    Towards south.
  • C
    Upward.
  • D
    Downward.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Towards west.
Explanation:

MCQ 21 Mark
An electric current i enters and leaves a uniform circular wire of radius a through diametrically opposite points. A charged particle q moving along the axis of the circular wire passes through its centre at speed v. The magnetic force acting on the particle when it passes through the centre has a magnitude:
  • A
    $\text{qv}\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\text{a}}$
  • B
    $\text{qv}\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi\text{a}}$
  • C
    $\text{qv}\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{\text{a}}$
  • $\text{Zero}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\text{Zero}$
Explantion:
As the current is entering and exiting from two diametrically opposite points of a circular coil, the currents in the two semicircular sections are in the opposite direction.
The fields due to the two semi-circular sections at the centre is in the opposite direction.
Hence net feild is zero.

MCQ 51 Mark
A charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field. The velocity of the particle at some instant makes an acute angle with the magnetic field. The path of the particle will be:
  • A
    A straight line.
  • B
    A circle.
  • A helix with uniform pitch.
  • D
    A helix with nonuniform pitch.
Answer
Correct option: C.
A helix with uniform pitch.
Explanation:

$\vec{\text{F}}=\text{q}(\vec{\text{V}}\times\vec{\text{B}})=\text{qvB}\sin\theta$
Megnetic force doesn't change the speed of the particle. It change the direction of the velocity of the particle.
V $\cos\theta$ provide the displacement of the particle in Horizontal direction & force is provide the centripetal acceleration of the particle.
So the path of the particle will be a helix with uniform pitch.

MCQ 71 Mark
A beam consisting of protons and electrons moving at the same speed goes through a thin region in which there is a magnetic field perpendicular to the beam. The protons and the electrons:
  • A
    Will go undeviated.
  • B
    Will be deviated by the same angle and will not separate.
  • Will be deviated by different angles and hence separate.
  • D
    Will be deviated by the same angle but will separate.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Will be deviated by different angles and hence separate.
$\vec{\text{F}}=\text{q}(\text{V}\times\text{B})$
Charge proton is poritive $= e$
$F_p= evB$
Charge of electron is negative $= -e$
$F_e= -evB$
They will be deviated by different angles and Hence separate.

MCQ 101 Mark
Two ions have equal masses but one is singly$-$ionised and the other is doubly$-$ionised. They are projected from the same place in a uniform magnetic field with the same velocity perpendicular to the field.
  • A
    Both ions will move along circles of equal radii.
  • B
    The circle described by the singly$-$ionised charge will have a radius that is. double that of the other circle.
  • C
    The two circles do not touch each other.
  • Both $B$ and $D$
Answer
Correct option: D.
Both $B$ and $D$
$\text{r}=\frac{\text{mv}}{\text{qB}}$
If charge of singly ionized $= e$
Then charge of doubly ionized $= ze$
The circle described by the singly $-$ ionized charge will have a radius double that of the other circle.
The two circle touch each other because brojected from the same place.

MCQ 111 Mark
Which of the following particles will have minimum frequency of revolution when projected with the same velocity perpendicular to a magnetic field?
  • A
    Electron
  • B
    Proton
  • C
    $He^+$
  • $Li^+$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$Li^+$
$\text{T}=\frac{2\pi\text{r}}{\text{v}\bot}\ ...(1)$
$\text{r}=\frac{\text{mv}_1}{\text{qB}}$
$\frac{\text{r}}{\text{v}\bot}=\frac{\text{m}}{\text{qB}}\ ...(2)$
from eq. $(1) \ (2)$ we get
$\text{T}=\frac{2\pi\text{m}}{\text{qB}}$
$\text{f}=\frac{1}{\text{T}}=\frac{\text{qB}}{2\pi\text{m}}$
Charge of all these particles are same but mass of $Li^+$ is Highest.
$\therefore\text{ mass}\uparrow,\ \text{f}\downarrow$

MCQ 121 Mark
If a charged particle at rest experiences no electromagnetic force:
  • A
    The electric field must be zero.
  • B

Answer
Correct option: D.
Both $A$ and $D$
Force on charged particle in an electric eld, $\text{F} = \text{qE} \ ...(1)$
Force on charged particle in a magnetic eld $\text{F} = \text{q} (\text{v}\times\text{b}) = \text{qvB} \sin\theta \ ...(2) $
Where boldface letter represent vector nature of that quantity, $q$ is charge of the particle, $v$ is the velocity of the particle $($if any$)$, and $\theta$ is the angle between velocity and magnetic eld.
From $(1), F_E= 0$ only when either $q = 0$ or $E = 0.$
Let $q ≠ 0,$ and $F ≠ 0$, then we must have $E ≠ 0$
From (2), if $q ≠ 0, v ≠ 0$ and $B ≠ 0$ even then $F_B$ can be 'zero' because of $θ = 0^\circ$ or $180^\circ$

MCQ 141 Mark
A particle moves in a region having a uniform magnetic field and a parallel, uniform electric field. At some instant, the velocity of the particle is perpendicular to the field direction. The path of the particle will be:
  • A
    A straight line.
  • B
    A circle.
  • C
    A helix with uniform pitch.
  • A helix with nonuniform pitch.
Answer
Correct option: D.
A helix with nonuniform pitch.

$\text{F}=\text{q}\vec{\text{E}}+\text{q}(\vec{\text{V}}\times\vec{\text{B}})$
$\text{F}=\text{q}\vec{\text{E}}$ provides the acceleration in 'x' direction.
$\text{F}_2=\text{}\text{q}(\vec{\text{V}}\times\vec{\text{B}})$ provides the centripetal Force.
The path of the particle will be ahelix with nonuniform pitch.
