Question 13 Marks
A metal wire PQ of mass 10g lies at rest on two horizontal metal rails separated by 4.90cm A vertically-downward magnetic field of magnitude 0.800T exists in the space. The resistance of the circuit is slowly decreased and it is found that when the resistance goes below 20.0Ω, the wire PQ starts sliding on the rails. Find the coefficient of friction.
Answer

$\mu\text{R}=\text{F}$
$\Rightarrow\mu\times\text{m}\times\text{g}=\text{ilB}$
$\Rightarrow\mu\times10\times10^{-3}\times9.8$
$=\frac{6}{20}\times4.9\times10^{-2}\times0.8$
$\Rightarrow\mu=\frac{0.3\times0.8\times10^{-2}}{2\times10^{-2}}=0.12$

Question 23 Marks
A square coil of edge l and with n turns carries a current i. It is kept on a smooth horizontal plate. A uniform magnetic field B exists parallel to an edge. The total mass of the coil is M. What should be the minimum value of B for which the coil will start tipping over?
Answer

Edge = l
Current = i
Turns= n
mass = M
Magnetic filed = B
Min Torque produced must be able to balance the torque produced due to weight Now, $\tau\text{B}=\tau$ Weight.
$\mu\text{B}=\mu\text{g}\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}\times\text{i}\times\text{l}^2\text{B}=\mu\text{g}\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}=\frac{\mu}{2\text{nil}}$

Question 33 Marks
Consider a non-conducting ring of radius r and mass m that has a total charge q distributed uniformly on it. The ring is rotated about its axis with an angular speed $\omega.$
  1. Find the equivalent electric current in the ring.
  2. Find the magnetic moment $\mu$ of the ring.
  3. Show that $\mu=\frac{\text{q}}{2\text{m}}\text{l}$ where l is the angular momentum of the ring about its axis of rotation.
Answer
  1. $\text{i}=\frac{\text{q}}{\text{t}}=\frac{\text{q}}{\text{t}}=\frac{\text{q}}{\Big(\frac{2\pi}{\omega}\Big)}=\frac{\text{q}\omega}{2\pi}$
  2. $\mu=\text{n}\text{ ia}=\text{i A}[\because\text{n}=1]$
$=\frac{\text{q}\omega\pi\text{r}^2}{2\pi}$
  1. $\mu=\frac{\text{q}\omega\text{r}^2}{2}$
$\text{L}=\text{I}\omega=\text{mr}^2\omega,\ \frac{\mu}{\text{L}}$
$=\frac{\text{q}\omega\text{r}^2}{2\text{mr}^2\omega}=\frac{\text{q}}{2\text{m}}$
$\Rightarrow\mu=\Big(\frac{\text{q}}{2\text{m}}\Big)\text{L}$

Question 43 Marks
A particle moves in a circle of diameter 1.0cm under the action of a magnetic field of 0.40T. An electric field of $200\ Vm^{-1}$ makes the path straight. Find the charge/ mass ratio of the particle.
Answer
$r = 0.5cm = 0.5 \times 10^{-2}m$
$B = 0.4T,$
$\text{E}=200\frac{\text{V}}{\text{m}}$
The path will straighten, if $\text{qE}=\text{quB}$
$\Rightarrow\text{E}=\frac{\text{rqB}\times\text{B}}{\text{m}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{E}=\frac{\text{rqB}^2}{\text{m}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{q}}{\text{m}}=\frac{\text{E}}{\text{B}^2\text{r}}=\frac{200}{0.4\times0.4\times0.5\times10^{-2}}$
$=2.5\times10^5\text{c/kg}$

Question 63 Marks
A current loop of arbitrary shape lies in a uniform magnetic field B. Show that the net magnetic force acting on the loop is zero.
Answer


$\mathrm{F}_1=$ Force on $\mathrm{AD}=\mathrm{i} \ell \mathrm{B}$ inwards
$\mathrm{F}_2=$ Force on $\mathrm{BC}=\mathrm{i} \ell \mathrm{B}$ inwards
They cancel each other
$\mathrm{F}_3=$ Force on $\mathrm{CD}=\mathrm{i} \ell \mathrm{B}$ inwards
$\mathrm{F}_4=$ Force on $\mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{i} \ell \mathrm{B}$ inwards
They also cancel each other.
So the net force on the body is 0.

Question 73 Marks
A proton describes a circle of radius 1cm in a magnetic field of strength 0.10T. What would be the radius of the circle described by an α-particle moving with the same speed in the same magnetic field?
Answer
$\text{r}=\frac{\text{mv}}{\text{qB}}$
$0.01=\frac{\text{mv}}{\text{e}0.1}\ ...(1)$
$\text{r}=\frac{\text{4}\text{m}\times\text{V}}{2\text{e}\times0.1}\ ...(2)$
$(2)\div(1)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}}{0.01}=\frac{4\text{mVe}\times0.1}{2\text{e}\times0.1\times\text{mv}}=\frac{4}{2}=2$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=0.02\text{m}=2\text{cm}$

Question 83 Marks
A rectangular wire loop of width a is suspended from the insulated pan of a spring balance, as shown in A current i exists in the anti-clockwise direction in the loop. A magnetic field Bexists in the lower region. Find the change in the tension of the spring if the current in the loop is reversed.
Answer

Current anticlockwise
Since the horizontal Forces have no effect.
Let us check the forces for current along AD & BC [Since there is no $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ ]
In AD, F = 0
For BC
F = iaB upward
Current clockwise
Similarly, F = - iaB downwards
Hence change in force = change in tension
= iaB - (-iaB) = 2 iaB

$\text{m}=1.67\times10^{-27}\text{kg}$
$\text{F}=\text{qvB}$
$\text{q}_\text{p}=1.6\times10^{-19}\text{C}$
$\overrightarrow{\text{a}}=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{m}}=\frac{\text{quB}}{\text{m}}$
$=\frac{1.6\times10^{-19}\times3\times10^6\times10^{-1}}{1.67\times10^{27}}$
$=17.245\times10^{13}=1.724\times10^4\text{m/s}^2$

Question 103 Marks
A wire of length l carries a current i long the x-axis. A magnetic field exists, which is given $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}=\text{B}_0(\overrightarrow{\text{i}}+\overrightarrow{\text{j}}+\overrightarrow{\text{k}})\text{T}.$ Find the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the wire.
Answer

Length = l, Current $=\text{l}\hat{\text{i}}$
$\overrightarrow{\text{B}}=\text{B}_0(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}})\text{T}$
$\text{B}_0\hat{\text{i}}+\text{B}_0\hat{\text{j}}+\text{B}_0\hat{\text{k}}\text{T}$
$\text{F}=\text{Il}\times\overrightarrow{\text{B}}=\text{Il}\hat{\text{i}}\times\text{B}_0\hat{\text{i}}+\text{B}_0\hat{\text{j}}+\text{B}_0\hat{\text{k}}$
$=\text{Il}\text{B}_0\hat{\text{i}}\times\hat{\text{i}}+\text{lB}_0\hat{\text{i}}\times\hat{\text{j}}+\text{lB}0\hat{\text{i}}\times\hat{\text{k}}=\text{Il}\text{B}_0\hat{\text{k}}-\text{IlB}\hat{\text{j}}$
or, $|\overrightarrow{\text{F}}|=\sqrt{2\text{I}^2\text{l}^2\text{B}_0^2}=\sqrt{2}\text{Il}\text{B}_0$

Question 113 Marks
A uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.20T exists in space from east to west. With what speed should a particle of mass 0.010g and with charge $1.0 \times 10^{-5}C$ be projected from south to north so that it moves with uniform velocity?
Answer
$B = 0.20T,$
$u = ?$
$m = 0.010g = 10^{-5}kg,$
$q = 1 \times 10^{-5}C$
Force due to magnetic field = Gravitational force of attraction
So, $quB = mg$
$\Rightarrow 1 \times 10^{-5} \times u \times 2 \times 10^{-1} = 1 \times 10–5 \times 9.8$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\frac{9.8\times10^{-5}}{2\times10^{-6}}=49\text{m/s}.$

Question 123 Marks
A hypothetical magnetic field existing in a region is given by $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}=\text{B}_0\overrightarrow{\text{e}}_\text{r},$ where $\overrightarrow{\text{e}}_\text{r}$ denotes the unit vector along the radial direction. A circular loop of radius a, carrying a current i, is placed with its plane parallel to the x-y plane and the centre at (0, 0, d). Find the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the loop.
Answer

$\overrightarrow{\text{B}}=\text{B}_0\overrightarrow{\text{e}}_\text{r}$
$\overrightarrow{\text{e}}_\text{r}=$ Unit vector along radial direction
$\text{F}=\text{i}(\overrightarrow{\text{l}}\times\overrightarrow{\text{B}})=\text{ilB}\sin\theta$
$=\frac{\text{i}(2\pi\text{a})\text{B}_0\text{a}}{\sqrt{\text{a}^2}+\text{d}^2}=\frac{\text{i}2\pi\text{a}^2\text{B}_0}{\sqrt{\text{a}^2+\text{d}^2}}$

Question 163 Marks
An experimenter's diary reads as follows: "A charged particle is projected in a magnetic field of $(7.0\vec{\text{i}}-3.0\vec{\text{j}})\times10^{-3}\text{T}.$ The acceleration of the particle is found to be $(\vec{\text{i}}+7.0\vec{\text{j}})\times10\text{m/s}^{2\text{n}}.$ The number to the left of $\vec{\text{i}}$ in the last expression was not readable. What can this number be?
Answer
$\vec{\text{B}}=(7.0\hat{\text{i}}+3.0 \ \vec{\text{j}})\times10^{-3}\text{T}$
$\vec{\text{a}}=$ acceleration $=(\text{i}+7\text{j})\times10^{-6}\text{m/s}^2$
Let the gap be x.
Since $\vec{\text{B}}$ and $\vec{\text{a}}$ are always perpendicular
$\vec{\text{B}}\times\vec{\text{a}}=0$
$\Rightarrow(7\text{x}\times10^{-3}\times10^{-6}-3\times10^{-3}7\times10^{-6})=0$
$\Rightarrow7\text{x}-21=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=3$

Question 173 Marks
Prove that the force acting on a current-carrying wire, joining two fixed points a and b in a uniform magnetic field, is independent of the shape of the wire.
Answer

For force on a current carrying wire in an uniform magnetic field
We need, l → length of wire
i → Current
B → Magnitude of magnetic field
Since $\overrightarrow{\text{F}}=\text{i}\ell\text{B}$
Now, since the length of the wire is fixed from A to B, so force is independent of the shape of the wire.
