 | Gayatri Menon answered |
Given:
- Charge 1 magnitude = 3 nC
- Charge 2 magnitude = 2 nC
- Distance between the charges = 2 µm
To calculate the force between the charges, we can use Coulomb's law, which states that the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of their magnitudes and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Coulomb's law equation:
F = (k * q1 * q2) / r^2
where:
- F is the force between the charges
- k is the electrostatic constant (k = 9 * 10^9 Nm^2/C^2)
- q1 is the magnitude of charge 1
- q2 is the magnitude of charge 2
- r is the distance between the charges
Let's substitute the given values into the equation:
F = (9 * 10^9 Nm^2/C^2) * ((3 * 10^-9 C) * (2 * 10^-9 C)) / (2 * 10^-6 m)^2
Simplifying the equation:
F = (9 * 3 * 2 * 10^-18) / 4 * 10^-12
F = 54 * 10^-18 / 4 * 10^-12
F = 13.5 * 10^-6 N
Converting the result to kilonewtons (kN):
F = 13.5 * 10^-6 N = 13.5 * 10^-6 * 10^-3 kN
F = 13.5 * 10^-9 kN
Therefore, the force between the charges is 13.5 kN.
- Charge 1 magnitude = 3 nC
- Charge 2 magnitude = 2 nC
- Distance between the charges = 2 µm
To calculate the force between the charges, we can use Coulomb's law, which states that the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of their magnitudes and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Coulomb's law equation:
F = (k * q1 * q2) / r^2
where:
- F is the force between the charges
- k is the electrostatic constant (k = 9 * 10^9 Nm^2/C^2)
- q1 is the magnitude of charge 1
- q2 is the magnitude of charge 2
- r is the distance between the charges
Let's substitute the given values into the equation:
F = (9 * 10^9 Nm^2/C^2) * ((3 * 10^-9 C) * (2 * 10^-9 C)) / (2 * 10^-6 m)^2
Simplifying the equation:
F = (9 * 3 * 2 * 10^-18) / 4 * 10^-12
F = 54 * 10^-18 / 4 * 10^-12
F = 13.5 * 10^-6 N
Converting the result to kilonewtons (kN):
F = 13.5 * 10^-6 N = 13.5 * 10^-6 * 10^-3 kN
F = 13.5 * 10^-9 kN
Therefore, the force between the charges is 13.5 kN.

Flux density= 800*10-6/500*106=1.6 Wb/m2.
Reluctance= 0.4/(380*4*pi*10-7*10-4*5)=1.68 * 106 A/Wb.

The magnetic field in a solenoid is given by:
B=μnI
Substituting the values in the given values in the equation, B=18.84mT.
B=μnI
Substituting the values in the given values in the equation, B=18.84mT.
Which, among the following qualities, is not affected by the magnetic field?- a)Moving charge
- b)Change in magnetic flux
- c)Current flowing in conductor
- d)Stationary charge
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

a)
Moving charge
b)
Change in magnetic flux
c)
Current flowing in conductor
d)
Stationary charge
| | Sanchita Sharma answered |
A stationary charge is not affected by a magnetic field because stationary charges do not have any velocity. Magnetic field cannot occur in a particle having zero velocity.
A substance whose permeability is less than the permeability of free space is?- a)Diamagnetic
- b)Paramagnetic
- c)Ferromagnetic
- d)Not a magnetic substance
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?
A substance whose permeability is less than the permeability of free space is?
a)
Diamagnetic
b)
Paramagnetic
c)
Ferromagnetic
d)
Not a magnetic substance
| | Gaurav Chauhan answered |
A diamagnetic material creates a magnetic field opposing that of the external magnetic field and it repels the external magnetic field. Hence its permeability is less than that of free space.
According to Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic inductance, an emf is induced in a conductor whenever?- a)The conductor is perpendicular to the magnetic field
- b)Lies in the magnetic field
- c)Cuts magnetic lines of flux
- d)Moves parallel to the magnetic field
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?
According to Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic inductance, an emf is induced in a conductor whenever?
a)
The conductor is perpendicular to the magnetic field
b)
Lies in the magnetic field
c)
Cuts magnetic lines of flux
d)
Moves parallel to the magnetic field
 | Lavanya Menon answered |
An emf is induced, according to Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic inductance, whenever the conductor in a magnetic field cuts the magnetic lies of flux, varying the flux per unit area, and hence the magnetic field which induces an emf.
Calculate the magnetic flux density if the magnetic field strength is 2A/m.- a) 4*pi/10-7T
- b)8*pi/10-7T
- c)10*pi/10-7T
- d)12*pi/10-7T
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?
Calculate the magnetic flux density if the magnetic field strength is 2A/m.
a)
4*pi/10-7T
b)
8*pi/10-7T
c)
10*pi/10-7T
d)
12*pi/10-7T
| | Sparsh Nambiar answered |
We know that:
∫0=B/H
Substituting the value of H from the question, we get B= 8*pi/10-7T.
∫0=B/H
Substituting the value of H from the question, we get B= 8*pi/10-7T.
Which, among the following, have negative susceptibility?- a)Diamagnetic
- b)Paramagnetic
- c)Ferromagnetic
- d)Not a magnetic substance

Which, among the following, have negative susceptibility?
a)
Diamagnetic
b)
Paramagnetic
c)
Ferromagnetic
d)
Not a magnetic substance
| | Nilanjan Saini answered |
Magnetic susceptibility is the degree of magnetisation of a material in response to the external magnetic field. Diamagnetic substances repel the magnetic field and hence have negative susceptibility.
Magnetic field lines form _________ loops from pole to pole.- a)Open
- b)Closed
- c)Branched
- d)Either closed or branched
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?
Magnetic field lines form _________ loops from pole to pole.
a)
Open
b)
Closed
c)
Branched
d)
Either closed or branched
 | Kritika Gupta answered |
Magnetic field lines form closed loops from pole to pole. There is no discontinuity in the magnetic flux lines.
According to Fleming’s right hand rule, the middle finger points towards?- a)Current
- b)E.M.F.
- c)Motion of the conductor
- d)Magnetic flux
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?
According to Fleming’s right hand rule, the middle finger points towards?
a)
Current
b)
E.M.F.
c)
Motion of the conductor
d)
Magnetic flux
| | Rajveer Saha answered |
Fleming’s left hand rule stated that if the index finger points towards magnetic flux, the thumb towards the motion of the conductor, then the middle finger points towards the induced emf.
