Magnetic Field Due to Circular Current Carrying Wire

Question 21: difficult

Two circular coils X and Y have equal number of turns and carry equal currents in the same sense and subtend same solid angle at point O. If the smaller coil X is midway between O and Y, then if we represent the magnetic induction due to bigger coil Y at O as BY and that due to smaller coil X at O as Bx :

1. \[\frac{B_{Y}}{B_{X}} = 1\]
2. \[\frac{B_{Y}}{B_{X}} = 2\]
3. \[\frac{B_{Y}}{B_{X}} = 1/2\]
4. \[\frac{B_{Y}}{B_{X}} = 1/4\]

Question 22: difficult

A thin flexible wire of length L is connected to two adjacent fixed points carries a current I in the clockwise direction, as shown in the figure. When system is put in a uniform magnetic field of strength B going into the plane of paper, the wire takes the shape of a circle. The tension in the wire is :

1. IBL
2. IBL/π
3. IBL/2π
4. IBL/4π

Question 23: moderate

A helium nucleus is moving in a circular path of radius \(0.8\text{ m}\). If it takes \(2\text{ sec}\) to complete one revolution, the magnetic field produced at the centre of the circle is:

1. \(\mu_0 \times 10^{-19}\text{ T}\)
2. \(\frac{10^{-19}}{\mu_0}\text{ T}\)
3. \(2 \times 10^{-19}\text{ T}\)
4. \(\frac{2 \times 10^{-19}}{\mu_0}\text{ T}\)
View Answer

Current is \(I = \frac{q}{T} = \frac{2e}{2} = e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\text{ A}\). The magnetic field at the centre is \(B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} = \frac{\mu_0 (1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{2(0.8)} = \mu_0 \times 10^{-19}\text{ T}\).
