Given, i1=i2=i
∴F=μ0i2l/2πb
Hence, force per unit length is F=μ0i2/2πb
∴F=μ0i2l/2πb
Hence, force per unit length is F=μ0i2/2πb

 | Divey Sethi answered |
As charges and velocities are same
F=q(V×B)
So having the same magnitude of charge and same velocity, they'll experience the same magnitude of force.
F=q(V×B)
So having the same magnitude of charge and same velocity, they'll experience the same magnitude of force.

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.

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=μoi/2r1=μoi/4r2
Magnetic field B at the center of the coil of radius r2 B2=2×μoi/2r2
∴ B2/B1 =(2× μoi/2r2)/(μoi /4r2) =4
Hence the answer is option C, four times its initial value.
Since there are two turns of radius r2, r1=2r2
Magnetic field B at the centre of the coil of radius r1 B1=μoi/2r1=μoi/4r2

∴ B2/B1 =(2× μoi/2r2)/(μoi /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.

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

 | 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

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.

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.

The torque on a current loop depends upon the area of the current loop, when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the loops the torque has its maximum value,
Τ=I A B
We know I and B for all these cases but A depends upon the geometry. The circle has the greatest area so it should provide the greatest torque.

Force due to electric field acts along the direction of the electric field but force due to the magnetic field acts along a direction perpendicular to both the velocity of the charged particle and the magnetic field.
Hence both statements (2) and (3) are true.
In statement (2), magnetic force is zero, so, electric force will keep the particle continue to move in horizontal direction. In statement (3), both electric and magnetic forces will be opposite to each other. If their magnitudes will be equal then the particle will continue horizontal motion.

From Biot-Savart law, magnetic field at a point p, B= (μ0/4π)∫ [(Idl×r)/ r3]
where r is the distance of point p from conductor and I is the current in the conductor.
Thus magnetic field due to current carrying conductor depends on the current flowing through conductor and distance from the conductor and length of the conductor.

M = niA

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 μ0 = 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
⇒ B1d1 = B2d2
= 0.4 T

Understanding the Problem
An electron is moving in a circular orbit within a magnetic field of 2 x 10^-3 Wb/m². We need to determine the time period of the electron's motion.
Key Concepts
- Magnetic Field (B): The magnetic field influences the motion of charged particles like electrons.
- Charge of Electron (e): The charge of an electron is approximately 1.6 x 10^-19 C.
- Mass of Electron (m): The mass of an electron is about 9.11 x 10^-31 kg.
Formula for Time Period
The time period (T) of the circular motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field can be derived using the formula:
- T = (2πm) / (eB)
Where:
- T = Time period
- m = Mass of the electron
- e = Charge of the electron
- B = Magnetic field strength
Calculating the Time Period
1. Substituting Values:
- m = 9.11 x 10^-31 kg
- e = 1.6 x 10^-19 C
- B = 2 x 10^-3 Wb/m²
2. Calculation:
- Plugging in the values:
- T = (2π * 9.11 x 10^-31 kg) / (1.6 x 10^-19 C * 2 x 10^-3 Wb/m²)
3. Result:
- Upon calculation, T approximately equals 17.85 x 10^-9 seconds.
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer for the time period of the electron in this magnetic field is option 'C': 17.85 x 10^-9 seconds. This illustrates how the interplay of charge, mass, and magnetic field influences the motion of charged particles.
