A 5 mg particle carrying a charge of $5 \pi \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C}$ is moving with velocity of $(3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{k}) \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ in a region having magnetic field $\vec{B}=0.1 \hat{k} \mathrm{~Wb} / \mathrm{m}^2$. It moves a distance of $\alpha$ meter along $\hat{k}$ when it completes 5 revolutions. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$。
Explanation:
When a charged particle enters a magnetic field with a velocity that has both a component perpendicular to the field and a component parallel to it, the particle follows a helical path.

The perpendicular component $\left(\mathrm{v}_{\perp}\right)$ causes circular motion due to the Lorentz force $\left(\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{qv}_{\perp} \mathrm{B}\right)$.
The parallel component ( $\mathrm{v}_{\|}$) remains constant because the magnetic force on it is zero ( $\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{qv}_{\|} \mathrm{B} \sin 0^{\circ}=0$ ), causing the particle to move linearly along the field lines.
The velocity is given as $\vec{v}=(3 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{k}) \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and the magnetic field is $\vec{B}=0.1 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \mathrm{T}$.
The component along the z -axis $(\widehat{\mathrm{k}})$ is $2 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$.
The component along the x -axis (î) is $3 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$.
For one revolution, the time taken is determined by the circular component of the motion.
Centripetal force is provided by the magnetic force:
$ \frac{m v_{\perp}^2}{r}=q v_{\perp} B \Rightarrow r=\frac{m v_{\perp}}{q B} $
The time for one revolution is.
$ \mathrm{T}=\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{v}_{\perp}}=\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{~m}}{\mathrm{qB}} $
The distance moved along the field lines in 1 revolution is called the Pitch.
$ \text { Pitch }=\mathrm{v}_{\|} \times \mathrm{T} $
For 5 revolutions, the total distance (a) is:
$ \mathrm{a}=5 \times \mathrm{v}_{\|} \times \mathrm{T}=5 \times \mathrm{v}_{\|} \times\left(\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{~m}}{\mathrm{qB}}\right) $
The mass of charged particle is $\mathrm{m}=5 \mathrm{mg}=5 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~kg}$.
The magnitude of charge on the particle is $\mathrm{q}=5 \pi \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C}$
The parallel component of velocity to magnetic field is $\mathrm{v}_{\|}=2 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
The magnitude of magnetic field in the region is $\mathrm{B}=0.1 \mathrm{~T}$
So, the distance travelled is;
$ a=5 \times\left(2 \times 10^{-2}\right) \times \frac{2 \pi \times\left(5 \times 10^{-6}\right)}{\left(5 \pi \times 10^{-6}\right) \times 0.1} $
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{a}=10 \times 10^{-2} \times \frac{10}{5 \times 0.1}$
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{a}=10^{-1} \times \frac{10}{0.5}$
$\Rightarrow $ $ a=0.1 \times 20=2 \text { meters } $
Therefore, the distance a moved along the $\widehat{k}$ direction is 2 meters.
A moving coil of galvanometer when shunted with $2 \Omega$ resistance gives a full scale deflection for a current of 500 mA . When a resistance of $470 \Omega$ is connected in series it gives a full scale deflection for 10 V potential applied on it. The value of resistance of galvanometer coil is $\_\_\_\_$ $\Omega$.
Explanation:
When a galvanometer of resistance $G$ is shunted with resistance $S$, the total current I splits. The current through the galvanometer is $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}$.

The potential across the galvanometer and shunt is equal:
$ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}} \mathrm{G}=\left(\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}\right) \mathrm{S} $
The resistance of shunt is $\mathrm{S}=2 \Omega$ and the current to measure with full deflection is $\mathrm{I}=500 \mathrm{~mA}=0.5 \mathrm{~A}$
$ I_g G=\left(0.5-I_g\right) \times 2 $
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}} \mathrm{G}=1-2 \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}$
$ I_g(G+2)=1 \Rightarrow I_g=\frac{1}{G+2} \ldots (i)$
When a resistance R is connected in series, the total potential V is :

$ V=I_g(G+R) $
The resistance added in series is given as $\mathrm{R}=470 \Omega$ and $\mathrm{V}=10 \mathrm{~V}$ :
$ 10=I_g(G+470) \Rightarrow I_g=\frac{10}{G+470} \ldots (ii)$
Since the full-scale deflection current $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}$ is constant for the galvanometer,
$ \frac{1}{G+2}=\frac{10}{G+470} $
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{G}+470=10(\mathrm{G}+2)$
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{G}+470=10 \mathrm{G}+20$
$\Rightarrow $ $470-20=10 \mathrm{G}-\mathrm{G}$
$\Rightarrow $ $450=9 \mathrm{G}$
$\Rightarrow $ $ \mathrm{G}=\frac{450}{9}=50 \Omega $
Therefore, the value of resistance of the galvanometer coil is $50 \Omega$.
The charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field of $(3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}) \mathrm{T}$ has an acceleration $\left(4 \hat{i}-\frac{x}{2} \hat{j}\right) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^2$. The value of $x$ is
Explanation:
For a charged particle moving only under a magnetic field, the magnetic force is
$ \vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) $
So the acceleration is
$ \vec{a} = \frac{\vec{F}}{m} = \frac{q}{m}(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) $
This means $\vec{a}$ is always perpendicular to $\vec{B}$.
So, we use the condition
$ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{B} = 0 $
Given,
$ \vec{B} = (3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j}) \, \text{T} $
and
$ \vec{a} = \left(4\hat{i} - \frac{x}{2}\hat{j}\right)\, \text{m/s}^2 $
Now take dot product:
$ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{B} = \left(4\hat{i} - \frac{x}{2}\hat{j}\right)\cdot(3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j}) = 0 $
$ 4 \cdot 3 + \left(-\frac{x}{2}\right)\cdot 2 = 0 $
$ 12 - x = 0 $
$ x = 12 $
Hence, the value of $x$ is
$ \boxed{12} $
A circular coil of radius 2 cm and 125 turns carries a current of 1 A . The coil is placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.4 T . The axis of the coil makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the direction of the magnetic field. The torque acting on the coil is $\alpha \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~N} . \mathrm{m}$. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
$ (\pi=3.14) $
Explanation:
For a current-carrying coil placed in a uniform magnetic field, the torque is
$ \tau = N I A B \sin \theta $
where:
$N = 125$
$I = 1 \, \text{A}$
$B = 0.4 \, \text{T}$
radius $r = 2 \, \text{cm} = 0.02 \, \text{m}$
$\theta = 30^\circ$
Here, $\theta$ is the angle between the axis of the coil and the magnetic field.
Now area of the circular coil:
$ A = \pi r^2 = 3.14 \times (0.02)^2 $
$ A = 3.14 \times 0.0004 = 0.001256 \, \text{m}^2 $
Now substitute in the torque formula:
$ \tau = 125 \times 1 \times 0.001256 \times 0.4 \times \sin 30^\circ $
Since,
$ \sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2} $
So,
$ \tau = 125 \times 0.001256 \times 0.4 \times 0.5 $
$ \tau = 125 \times 0.001256 \times 0.2 $
$ \tau = 125 \times 0.0002512 $
$ \tau = 0.0314 \, \text{N m} $
Now write it in the form $\alpha \times 10^{-4} \, \text{N m}$:
$ 0.0314 = 314 \times 10^{-4} $
Therefore,
$ \alpha = 314 $
So, the answer is:
$ \boxed{314} $

A loop ABCDA , carrying current $\mathrm{I}=12 \mathrm{~A}$, is placed in a plane, consists of two semi-circular segments of radius $R_1=6 \pi \mathrm{~m}$ and $\mathrm{R}_2=4 \pi \mathrm{~m}$. The magnitude of the resultant magnetic field at center O is $\mathrm{k} \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~T}$. The value of k is_________.
( Given $\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{Tm} \mathrm{A}^{-1}$ )
Explanation:
Magnetic Field from Semi-Circular Segments:
The magnetic field at the center due to a semi-circular loop is given by:
$ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4R} $
Calculating $B_{R_1}$ and $B_{R_2}$:
For the semi-circle with radius $R_1$:
$ B_{R_1} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4R_1} = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 12}{4 \times 6\pi} $
For the semi-circle with radius $R_2$:
$ B_{R_2} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4R_2} = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 12}{4 \times 4\pi} $
Net Magnetic Field at the Center (O):
The total magnetic field $B_0$ at the center is the difference between these two fields (since they are in opposite directions):
$ B_0 = |B_{R_1} - B_{R_2}| $
Calculate:
$ B_0 = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 12}{4} \left(\frac{1}{4\pi} - \frac{1}{6\pi}\right) $
$ B_0 = 12\pi \times 10^{-7} \left(\frac{1}{12\pi}\right) $
$ B_0 = 1 \times 10^{-7} \text{ T} $
Value of $k$:
Given that the magnitude of the resultant magnetic field is $k \times 10^{-7} \text{ T}$, we find $k = 1$.
Thus, the value of $k$ is 1.
Explanation:
To calculate the magnetic force on a wire, we use the formula:
$ \mathrm{F} = \mathrm{I} \ell \mathrm{B} $
Where:
$ \mathrm{I} $ is the current in the wire (in amperes),
$ \ell $ is the length of the wire (in meters),
$\mathrm{B}$ is the magnetic field strength (in teslas).
Given that:
The current $\mathrm{I}$ is 8 A,
The length of the wire $\ell$ is 4.0 cm, which is 0.04 m (since 1 cm = 0.01 m),
The magnetic field strength $\mathrm{B}$ is 0.15 T,
Substituting these values into the formula gives:
$ \mathrm{F} = 8 \times 0.04 \times 0.15 $
Calculating this:
$ \mathrm{F} = 0.048 \, \mathrm{N} $
To convert this to millinewtons (mN), recall that $1 \, \mathrm{N} = 1000 \, \mathrm{mN}$. Therefore:
$ \mathrm{F} = 48 \, \mathrm{mN} $
Thus, the magnetic force on the wire is 48 mN.
Explanation:
We know, magnetic field due to solenoid, $B = {\mu _0}nI$
where, I = current, $n = {N \over L}$ = no. of turns per unit length
$ \Rightarrow B = {{{\mu _0}NI} \over L}$
$ \Rightarrow L = {{{\mu _0}NI} \over B} = {{4\pi \times {{10}^{ - 7}} \times 200 \times 0.29} \over {2.9 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}}$
$ \Rightarrow L = 8\pi \times {10^{ - 2}}\,m$
$ \Rightarrow L = 8\pi \,cm$
Hence, answer = 8.
A tightly wound long solenoid carries a current of 1.5 A . An electron is executing uniform circular motion inside the solenoid with a time period of 75 ns . The number of turns per metre in the solenoid is _________.
[Take mass of electron $\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{e}}=9 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}$, charge of electron $\left|\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{e}}\right|=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}$, $ \left.\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \frac{\mathrm{~N}}{\mathrm{~A}^2}, 1 \mathrm{~ns}=10^{-9} \mathrm{~s}\right] $
Explanation:
The problem involves an electron executing uniform circular motion inside a solenoid. The objective is to find the number of turns per meter in the solenoid.
Given:
Current in the solenoid, $ I = 1.5 \, \text{A} $
Time period of the electron's circular motion, $ T = 75 \, \text{ns} = 75 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{s} $
Mass of electron, $ m_e = 9 \times 10^{-31} \, \text{kg} $
Charge of electron, $ |q_e| = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} $
Permeability of free space, $ \mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{N/A}^2 $
Explanation:
The time period $ T $ for a revolving charge in a magnetic field is given by:
$ T = \frac{2\pi m}{qB} $
The magnetic field $ B $ inside a solenoid is:
$ B = \mu_0 n I $
where $ n $ is the number of turns per meter. Thus, substituting $ B $ in the expression for $ T $, we get:
$ T = \frac{2\pi m}{q(\mu_0 n I)} $
Plugging in the known values:
$ 75 \times 10^{-9} = \frac{(2\pi)(9 \times 10^{-31})}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times n \times 1.5} $
Solving for $ n $, we find:
$ n = 250 $
Thus, the number of turns per meter in the solenoid is 250.
A current of 5 A exists in a square loop of side $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \mathrm{~m}$. Then the magnitude of the magnetic field $B$ at the centre of the square loop will be $p \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~T}$. where, value of p is ________ $\left[\right.$ Take $\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~T} \mathrm{~mA}^{-1}$ ].
Explanation:
$ B = \frac{2 \sqrt{2}\,\mu_0 I}{\pi L} $
For a square loop of side length
$ L = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \text{ m}, $
the perpendicular distance from the center to any side is
$ d = \frac{L}{2} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \text{ m}. $
For a finite straight wire, the magnetic field at a point at distance $ d $ from the wire is given by the Biot–Savart expression
$ B_{\text{side}} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi d} \left(\sin\theta_1 + \sin\theta_2\right) $
where $ \theta_1 $ and $ \theta_2 $ are the angles between the extended wire and the line joining the ends of the wire with the observation point. For one side of the square, by symmetry, the midpoint of the side and the center of the square give
$ \tan\theta = \frac{L/2}{L/2} = 1 \quad\Rightarrow\quad \theta = 45^\circ. $
Thus,
$ \sin\theta_1 = \sin\theta_2 = \sin 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}. $
Then the field due to one side is
$ B_{\text{side}} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi \left(\frac{L}{2}\right)} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi \left(\frac{L}{2}\right)} \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\right) = \frac{\mu_0 I \sqrt{2}}{2\pi L}. $
Since there are 4 sides with contributions that add vectorially in the same direction at the center, the total magnetic field is
$ B = 4 \cdot B_{\text{side}} = \frac{4 \mu_0 I \sqrt{2}}{2\pi L} = \frac{2 \sqrt{2}\,\mu_0 I}{\pi L}. $
Substitute
$ L = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, $
to obtain
$ B = \frac{2 \sqrt{2}\,\mu_0 I}{\pi \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)} = \frac{2 \sqrt{2}\,\mu_0 I \sqrt{2}}{\pi} = \frac{4\,\mu_0 I}{\pi}. $
Using the provided values
$ I = 5 \text{ A} \quad \text{and} \quad \mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T\,m/A}, $
the magnetic field becomes
$ B = \frac{4 \times \left(4\pi \times 10^{-7}\right) \times 5}{\pi} = \frac{80\pi \times 10^{-7}}{\pi} = 80 \times 10^{-7} \text{ T} = 8 \times 10^{-6} \text{ T}. $
Thus, the value of $ p $ is
$ p = 8. $
A proton is moving undeflected in a region of crossed electric and magnetic fields at a constant speed of $2 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$. When the electric field is switched off, the proton moves along a circular path of radius 2 cm . The magnitude of electric field is $x \times 10^4 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{C}$. The value of $x$ is _________. Take the mass of the proton $=1.6 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}$.
Explanation:
Let's break down the problem step by step:
When the proton moves undeflected in crossed electric and magnetic fields, the electric and magnetic forces balance each other. That is,
$qE = qvB,$
which simplifies to
$E = vB.$
After the electric field is switched off, the proton moves in a circular path under the action of the magnetic force. The magnetic force provides the required centripetal force:
$qvB = \frac{mv^2}{r}.$
Solving for the magnetic field $B$, we get:
$B = \frac{mv}{qr}.$
Now substitute this expression for $B$ back into the equilibrium condition:
$E = vB = v\left(\frac{mv}{qr}\right) = \frac{mv^2}{qr}.$
Plug in the given values:
Proton mass, $m = 1.6 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg}$
Speed, $v = 2 \times 10^5 \, \text{m/s}$
Radius, $r = 2 \, \text{cm} = 0.02 \, \text{m}$
Proton charge, $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C}$
Thus,
$E = \frac{(1.6 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg})(2 \times 10^5 \, \text{m/s})^2}{(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C})(0.02 \, \text{m})}.$
Calculate the numerator:
$(2 \times 10^5)^2 = 4 \times 10^{10},$
So, $(1.6 \times 10^{-27}) \times (4 \times 10^{10}) = 6.4 \times 10^{-17}.$
Calculate the denominator:
$(1.6 \times 10^{-19}) \times (0.02) = 3.2 \times 10^{-21}.$
Now compute the electric field:
$E = \frac{6.4 \times 10^{-17}}{3.2 \times 10^{-21}} = 2 \times 10^4 \, \text{N/C}.$
The problem states that the magnitude of the electric field is $x \times 10^4 \, \text{N/C}.$ Since we found
$E = 2 \times 10^4 \, \text{N/C},$
it follows that
$x = 2.$
