Two concentric coils carry the same current in opposite directions. The diameter of the inner coil is half that of the outer coil. If the magnetic field produced by the outer coil at the common centre are 1 T, the net field at the centre is
  • a)
    4T
  • b)
    2T
  • c)
    1T
  • d)
    3T
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered

The magnetic field produced by a current-carrying coil at its center is given by the formula,
B = μ0 * (N*I/R),
where,
B is the magnetic field,
μ0 is the permeability of free space,
N is the number of turns in the coil,
I is the current through the coil, and
R is the radius of the coil.
In this case, both the coils carry the same current but in opposite directions. So, the fields produced by them will be in opposite directions. Also, the diameter of the inner coil is half that of the outer coil. Thus, the radius of the inner coil will be half that of the outer coil.
Therefore, the field at the center due to the inner coil will be double that due to the outer coil (because the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the radius).
Since the fields are in opposite directions, the net field at the center will be the difference between the two fields. That is, 2B (due to the inner coil) - B (due to the outer coil) = B.
So, if the field due to the outer coil is 1 T (Tesla), the net field at the center will also be 1 T.
Hence, the correct answer is 3. 1T.

Wire of length l, carries a steady current I. It is bent first to form a circular coil of one turn. The same wire of same length is now bent more sharply to give two loops of smaller radius the magnetic field at the centre caused by the same current is

    one third of its initial value
  • b)
    nine times of its initial value
  • c)
    four times of its initial value
  • d)
    unaltered
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
Let the radii be r1​ and r2​ respectively.
Since there are two turns of radius r2​, r1​=2r2​
Magnetic field B at the centre of  the coil of radius r1​ B1​=​μo​i/2r1​=​μo​i​/4r2
Magnetic field B at the center of the coil of radius r2​ B2​=2×​μo​i​/2r2
∴ B2/B1 =(2× μo​i/2r2​)/(μo​i /4r2​)​ ​​=4
Hence the answer is option C, four times its initial value.

Explanation:

When an electron is projected in a uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field, both pointing in the same direction as the electron's velocity, the following happens:

1. Electric field:

The electric field exerts a force on the electron in the direction of the field. Since the electron is negatively charged, it experiences a force opposite to the direction of the electric field. Therefore, the electric field does not affect the direction of the electron's motion.

2. Magnetic field:

The magnetic field exerts a force on the electron perpendicular to both the field direction and the electron's velocity. The force is given by the Lorentz force equation:

F = q(v x B)

where F is the force, q is the charge of the electron, v is its velocity, and B is the magnetic field.

In this case, the force is directed inward, towards the center of the circular path. The magnitude of the force is given by:

|F| = qvB

where |F| is the magnitude of the force.

Since the force is perpendicular to the velocity, it causes the electron to move in a circular path around the magnetic field lines. The radius of the path is given by:

r = mv/qB

where r is the radius of the path, m is the mass of the electron, and v is its velocity.

3. Combined effect:

Since the electric field does not affect the direction of the electron's motion, the only effect is due to the magnetic field. As the electron moves in a circular path, it loses kinetic energy due to the work done by the magnetic force. Therefore, its velocity decreases in magnitude.

Hence, the correct option is D- The electron velocity will decrease in magnitude.

A circular coil of radius r carries current I. The magnetic field at its center is B. at what distance from the center on the axis of the coil magnetic field will be B/8
  • a)
    √3R
  • b)
    √2R
  • c)
    2R
  • d)
    3R
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Shilpa Saha answered
As you know that magnetic field at point on the axis of current carrying ring is 


where x is the point on the axis of ring, R is the radius of ring , i is the current carrying on ring and N is the number of turns .



This is possible only when x = +-√3R 
Hence, √3R distance from the centre magnetic field is equal to magnetic field at centre .

The force acting on a charge q moving with velocityin a magnetic field is given by
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Sharma answered
The magnetic force on a free moving charge is perpendicular to both the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field with direction given by the right hand rule . The force is given by the charge times the vector product of velocity and magnetic field.

A Charge is fired through a magnetic field. The magnetic force acting on it is maximum when the angle between the direction of motion and magnetic field is
  • a)
    π
  • b)
    zero
  • c)
    π/2
  • d)
    π/4
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
The force will have a magnitude F=qvB sin q, thus it will be maximum if sin q is maximum. Thus, angle between velocity and magnetic field should be 90o or the charge particle moves perpendicular to the velocity vector.

A rectangular loop carrying a current I is situated near a long straight wire such that the wire is parallel to the one of the sides of the loop and is in a plane of the loop. If a steady current I is established in wire as shown in figure, the loop will
  • a)
    move away from the wire or towards right
  • b)
    remain stationary
  • c)
    rotate about an axis parallel to the wire
  • d)
    move towards the wire
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Top Rankers answered
The long straight wire and side AB  carry current in the same direction, hence will attract each other.
The long straight wire and side CD carry current in the opposite direction, hence will repel each other.
Force on side BC  will be equal and opposite to force on side DA.
Since CD  is farther from the wire than AB,  the force of attraction on  AB  will exceed the force of repulsion on CD.
Hence, there will be a net force of attraction on the loop ABCD and it will move towards the wire.

Which of the following laws give the direction of induced e.m.f
  • a)
    Faraday’s Law
  • b)
    Ampere’s Theorem
  • c)
    Biot Savart Law
  • d)
    Lenz’s Law
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Knowledge Hub answered
Lenz’s law is used for determining the direction of induced current.
Lenz’s law of electromagnetic induction states that the direction of induced current in a given magnetic field is such that it opposes the induced change by changing the magnetic field.
Following is the formula of Lenz’s law:
ϵ=−N (∂ϕB/∂t)
Where,
  • ε is the induced emf
  • ∂ΦB is the change in magnetic flux
  • N is the number of turns in the coil
Lenz’s law finds application in electromagnetic braking and in electric generators

  • b)
    first increases then decreases.
  • c)
    decreases
  • d)
    increases
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajeev Saxena answered
The magnetic field does no work, so the kinetic energy and speed of a charged particle in a magnetic field remain constant. The magnetic force, acting perpendicular to the velocity of the particle, will cause circular motion.

The connecting wires of a battery of an automobile carry 200 A of current. Calculate the force per unit length between the wires if they are 50 cm long and 2 cm apart?​
  • a)
    4Nm-1
  • b)
    0.4Nm-1
  • c)
    0.04Nm-1
  • d)
    40Nm-1
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Naina Bansal answered
Current in both wires, I = 200 A

Distance between the wires, r = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Length of the two wires, l = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Force between the two wires is given by the relation,

where, μo = permeability of free space = 4π x 10^-7 TmA^-1

So, F = [4π x 10^-7 x (200^2)]/[2π x 0.02]
=>   F   =  0.4 Nm^-1

Ampere's Circuital Law: 
  • It gives the relationship between the current and the magnetic field created by it.
  • This law says that the integral of magnetic field density (B) along an imaginary closed path is equal to the product of current enclosed by the path and permeability of the medium.

Where B = magnetic field, μ0 = permeability of free space and I = current passing through the coil
Given:
B1 = 0.8 T,  d1 = 0.5 cm
The intensity of the magnetic field due to wire of infinite length at a distance d from it is given by

Where μ= permeability of free space, I = current in a wire, d = distance
As current is constant in the wire, then the magnetic field varies with the distance 'd' as
B∝1 / d
⇒ B1d= B2d2

Convert the following sentences into simple past passive.
They never sent me the bill.
Correct answer is 'I was never sent the bill'. Can you explain this answer?

Disha Saha answered
When we convert an active sentence in the simple past tense into the passive voice, we use the verb 'was/were + past participle'. 'Was' is used when the subject is a singular noun or pronoun.
So the answer is, 'I was never sent the bill'.

  • a)
    2 : 3
  • b)
    3 : 2
  • c)
    9 : 4
  • d)
    4 : 9
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Amar Dasgupta answered
Explanation:

Given:
Two α-particles have the ratio of their velocities as 3 : 2 on entering the field.

Let:
Let the velocities of the two α-particles be 3v and 2v respectively.
Let the radii of their circular paths be r1 and r2 respectively.

Velocity-radius relationship:
The ratio of the velocities is equal to the inverse ratio of the radii of circular paths.
Therefore, 3v/2v = r2/r1
=> r2/r1 = 3/2
=> r1/r2 = 2/3

Conclusion:
The ratio of the radii of their circular paths is 2 : 3.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'b) 3 : 2'.

Put appropriate punctuation marks in the following sentences.
Sorry to disturb you could I speak to you for a moment
 
Correct answer is 'Sorry to disturb you – could I speak to you for a moment?'. Can you explain this answer?

In the sentence "Sorry to disturb you – could I speak to you for a moment?", the appropriate punctuation marks are a hyphen (-) after "disturb you" and a question mark (?) after "moment".
The hyphen is used to join two words together, in this case "disturb" and "you", to form a compound adjective. A compound adjective is an adjective made up of two or more words that describes a noun. In this sentence, the compound adjective "sorry to disturb you" describes the speaker and indicates that they feel apologetic about interrupting the person they are speaking to.

The question mark is used to indicate that the sentence is a question. In this case, the speaker is asking if they can speak to the person for a moment.

Overall, the punctuation in the sentence helps to clarify the meaning and structure of the sentence, making it easier for the reader to understand.

Mohit Rajpoot answered
Solenoid: A cylindrical coil of many tightly wound turns of insulated wire with a general diameter of the coil smaller than its length is called a solenoid.
  • A magnetic field is produced around and within the solenoid.
  • The magnetic field within the solenoid is uniform and parallel to the axis of the solenoid.
The strength of the magnetic field in a solenoid is given by:-
Where, N = number of turns, 
= length of the solenoid,  
l = current in the solenoid and
μo = absolute permeability of air or vacuum.
The magnetic field inside a solenoid is uniform. So option 2 is correct.

  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
The magnetic field from the centre of wire of radius R is given by
B = ((μ0I)/(2R2))r (r < R) ⇒ B ∝ r
and B = μ0I/2πr (r > R) ⇒ B ∝ 1/r
From this descriptions, we can say that the graph (b) is a correct representation.

This phenomenon is known as Ampere's force law or the parallel currents interaction. According to the right-hand rule, the magnetic fields produced by the currents in the two conductors will be in the same direction between the conductors and in the opposite direction outside the conductors.
Therefore, when two parallel conductors carry current in opposite directions, they will exert a repulsive force on each other.

The correct answer is Both I and II.
  • Ampere's Circuital Law states that the line integral of the magnetic field around any closed path is equal to the permeability of free space times the total current enclosed by the path.
  • The law is mathematically expressed as ∮B·dl = μ₀Ienc, where ∮B·dl is the line integral of the magnetic field B around a closed loop, μ₀ is the permeability of free space, and Ienc is the total current enclosed by the loop.
  • The law can be applied in various scenarios including inside a conductor or outside it, provided the total current enclosed by the path is known.
    • This is crucial for determining the magnetic field in different regions around current-carrying conductors.
    • Hence, statement I is correct.
  • The law is applicable for different types of currents such as line currents, sheet currents, or volume currents.
    • Line currents refer to currents flowing through thin wires or conductors.
    • Sheet currents are currents distributed over a surface.
    • Volume currents are currents distributed throughout a volume.
    • The versatility of Ampere's Circuital Law in handling these different types of current distributions makes it a powerful tool in electromagnetism.
    • Hence, statement II is correct.

EduRev NEET answered
Mathematical representations with their corresponding law
Ampere's Circuital Law:
  • Ampere’s circuital law can be written as the line integral of the magnetic field (H) surrounding the closed loop equals the number of times the algebraic sum of currents passing through the loop. It can be expressed as
    ∫ Hdl = Ienc
  • Suppose a conductor carries a current I, then this current flow generates a magnetic field that surrounds the wire.
  • The equation’s left side describes that if an imaginary path encircles the wire and the magnetic field is added at every point, then it is numerically equal to the current encircled by this route, indicated by Ienc.
  • Equation of Ampere's circuital law further described as
  • ∫s H.dL = ∫s J.ds       (∵ Ienc ∫s J.ds)
  • Where J represents the current density
Gauss's law of Electrostatics:
  • Gauss Law of electrostatics states that the total electric flux out of a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed divided by the permittivity.
  • In other words, according to the Gauss law, the total flux linked with a closed surface is 1/ε0 times the charge enclosed by the closed surface. It can be expressed as
  • The electric flux in an area is defined as the electric field multiplied by the area of the surface projected in a plane and perpendicular to the field.
  • Further equation of Gauss Law of electrostatics can be expressed as
  • s D.dS = ∫V ρVdV 
  • Where 'ρV' represents volume charge density and 'D' represents electric flux density vector.
Gauss's law of Magnetostatics:
  • Gauss law on magnetostatics states that “closed surface integral of magnetic flux density (B) is always equal to total scalar magnetic flux enclosed (ϕenc) within that surface of any shape or size lying in any medium.”
  • Mathematically it is expressed as
  • ∫s B.ds = ϕenc
  • But magnetic flux cannot be enclosed within a closed surface of any shape, therefore  ϕenc = 0
  • Hence, the equation of Gauss law on magnetostatics can be expressed as  ∫s B.ds = 0
Conservative nature of the electric field:
  • The electric field is defined as the electric force per unit charge.
  • If we observe the electric field pattern, it is radially directed outward from a positive charge and is directed inwards a negative point charge.
  • The electric field is a vector quantity, and the SI unit of the electric field is volts per meter.
  • The electric field (E) is a conservative field and it is expressed as
  • ∫ L E.dL = 0
  • A force is said to be conservative if the work done by the force in moving a particle from one point to another point depends only on the initial and final points and not on the path followed.
  • The field where the conservative force is observed is known as a conservative field.
  • For Example, consider an electric field created due to a charge Q.
  • The work done to carry a test charge (q) from point A to another point B in the field due to Q does not depend upon the path followed.
  • Electric field depends upon the initial and final positions A and B. Electric fields are independent of the path followed.
  • So we say that the electric field is conservative in nature.
  • Consecutive nature of electric field

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Manoj Datta answered
Explanation:

Introduction:
When a positively charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field with a uniform velocity, its trajectory can be a straight line, a circle, or a helix. The exact trajectory depends on the initial conditions of the particle, such as its velocity, charge, and angle of entry into the magnetic field.

Effect of Magnetic Field on Charged Particle:
When a charged particle moves through a magnetic field, it experiences a force called the magnetic Lorentz force. This force acts perpendicular to both the velocity of the particle and the magnetic field. The magnitude of the magnetic force can be given by the equation F = qvBsinθ, where F is the force, q is the charge of the particle, v is the velocity of the particle, B is the magnetic field strength, and θ is the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field.

Force Acting on a Particle:
The force acting on a positively charged particle in a magnetic field can be determined by the right-hand rule. If the thumb of the right hand points in the direction of the velocity of the particle, and the fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field, then the palm will point in the direction of the force acting on the particle.

Possible Trajectories:
The trajectory of a charged particle in a magnetic field depends on the initial conditions of the particle. The following are the possible trajectories:

1. Straight Line:
If the initial velocity of the particle is parallel or antiparallel to the magnetic field, then the force acting on the particle will be zero. In this case, the particle will continue to move in a straight line without any deflection.

2. Circle:
If the initial velocity of the particle is perpendicular to the magnetic field, the force acting on the particle will be maximum. This force will act as a centripetal force and cause the particle to move in a circular path with a constant radius.

3. Helix:
If the initial velocity of the particle has both a component perpendicular to the magnetic field and a component parallel to the magnetic field, the force acting on the particle will have both a radial and an axial component. This will cause the particle to move in a helical path.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, when a positively charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field with a uniform velocity, its trajectory can be a straight line, a circle, or a helix depending on the initial conditions of the particle. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' - any one of (i), (ii), and (iii).
