Solution of Magnetic effect of Current

1. (c) (i) Magnetic field is produced by moving charges of their nature.

2. (c) Since the current moves along the point a in the anticlockwise, therefore, the direction of magnetic
field is a dot (.) or along the positive z-axis.

3. (a) around the point b, the current moves in the clockwise sense, therefore, the direction of magnetic
field at b is a cross , i.e.., along the negative z-axis.

4. (c) Arround the straight wire, the direction of magnetic field is clockwise.

5. (b) We know that d
 X /r3 here Id

 = 0/4 Id  can be replaced by (dq/dt)  /dt) = dq thus,
 = dq (
 = /4 dq ( X )/r or

d
3  = 0/4 q ( X )/r 3

6. (b) Note that the field lines are in clockwise sense around the sheet of change. R

I O I
7. (c) (i) The contribution of semi-circular wire is 0I/4R (ii) The two semi-infinite wires
becomes one completely infinite wire, thus the contribution of straight wires is 0I/4R.
(iii) The direction of B is inwards . Hence, B = 0I/4R + 0I/2R

8. (a) The field produced by the semi-circular ring in inwards , and it is equal to 0I/4R I I
R
(ii) The field produced by the straight wires in out outwards (.)., and it is equal to 0I/4R
O
Hence, the resultant field is inwards and it is equal to B = 0I/4R - 0I/2R
I
9. (c) No field is produced by the straight wires (i) The contribution of one-fourth of the I
I R
circular wire is 0I/8R (inwards), Thus, B = 0I/8R
O

10. (b) The contribution of the left straight wire is zero, The contribution of the right I
I
straight wire is 0I/4R (inwards), The contribution of the one-fourth circular wire R
I
is 0I/4R (inwards). Thus, B = 0I/8R + 0I/4R (inwards) R O

I
11. (d) In this case, the upper straight wire produces magnetic field in the outward (.) sense.
I R
Thus, the net field is B = 0I/8R - 0 = I/4R (inwards) I
R O

12. (d) (i) All the parts of the loop produce magnetic field in the inward direction. I
The straight portions do not contribute. The net field is B = 0I/4a + 0I/4b (inwards) a
O
b
13. (c) In this case, as compared to the above problem, the ring of radius n produces magnetic
I
field in the outward (.) sense. But the net field at the point O is inward .
b I
B = 0I/4a - 0I/4b (inwards) I

14. (c) Only the lower straight wire produces magnetic field in the outward . direction
Hence Bnet = 0I/4R (outwards)

O
15. (c) In the region x > d, B is along positive y-axis, R
I
In the region o < x < d, B is along negative y-axis
At x = 0, B = 0. In the region d < x < 0, B is along positive y-axis. In the rgion x < -d, B is along
negative y-axis. Thus, the correct variation B along the x-axis is shown in diagram (c)
16. (d) The radius of the circular path is given by r = mv/qB = p/qB
For same momentum, r 1/q or rp : rd : r : : 1/e : 1/e : 1/2e or rp : rd : r : : 2 : 2 : 1

17. (b) r = mv sin /qB ; p = 2m/B cos . Since r = p, therefore, tan q = 2p or = tan-1 2

18. (c)  = 

 X
. If B is constant over the length of the conductor, then  = I [   X

 = I (
] X
)

 = 
19. (d) Since the effective length   of all the conductors is same, therefore, all the conductor
experience the same force in the uniform field.

20. (c) It can be defined for these dimensional loops also.

21. (a) Since the orientation of the entire loop is anticlockwise, therefore, the area vector is

 = /2 (a2 + b2) . Thus, m = I
 /2 (a2 + b2) I 

22. (a) The area vector of the circular part lying in the xy plane is oriented along positive z-axis, while that
lying in the xz plane is oriented along the positive y-axis.
Thus,
 = /2 (b2 + a2 ), or m = I
 = /2 (b2 + a2) I

23. (a) The direction of the area vector of the loop is along the positive z-axis
The direction of external magnetic field is along the negative z-axis. The magnetic moment is m = 2
I2 . Potential energy U = - m .

 = - pmB cos 1800 > 0. Potential energy is not minimum. Torque = m
 = 0. Torque experienced by the loop is minimum not maximum.
X

24. (c) External magnetic field at the position of the North and South pole of the magnetic dipole area
equal. Therefore, the net force experienced by it is zero. Torque acting on the dipole is non-zero
potential energy of the dipole is zero.

25. (d) The magnetic dipole is oriented parallel to the magnetic field lines. Therefore, U is minimum and is
equal to zero. Since v < 0, therefore, the dipole is attracted towards the wire.

26. (c) The unit vector along the magnetic field is given by
 =  X  =  ( + ) =  -  or
 = -  + 

27. (a) (i) The magnetic field produced by the circular ring is along the negative x-axis on all the points lying
on the x-axis. (ii) The field has its maximum at the centre of the ring.

28. (a,b,c) The angular speed of the charge is  = qB/m

) +  ].
29. (b,c) Lorentz force :  = q [ X
If  = 0, then  = -  X

 thus  must be perpendicular to

.

Also,  | or E = vB sin ,
|  | = |  X
or B = E/v sin . Since sin  1, therefore. B  E/v

30. (a,c,d) The expression m = q/2m  is not valid for elementary particles like electron, position, etc.
