Magnetic Effects of Current

Question 111: easy

The magnetic materials having negative magnetic susceptibility are:

1. Non magnetic
2. Paramagnetic
3. Diamagnetic
4. Ferromagnetic
View Answer

Diamagnetic substances have negative magnetic susceptibility because they develop magnetization in a direction opposite to the applied magnetic field.

Question 112: easy

To increase the current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer, we should:

1. decrease number of turns in coil
2. decrease area of cross section of the coil
3. increase torsional constant of spiral springs
4. None of the above
View Answer

Current sensitivity is given by \(I_s = \frac{NBA}{C}\). To increase it, we need to increase \(N\), \(B\), \(A\) or decrease \(C\). None of the options perform these changes.

Question 113: easy

The magnetic moment produced in a substance of \(1\text{ gm}\) is \(6 \times 10^{-7}\text{ A-m}^2\). If its density is \(5\text{ gm/cm}^3\), then the intensity of magnetisation in \(A/m\) will be:

1. \(8.3 \times 10^6\)
2. \(3.0\)
3. \(1.2 \times 10^{-7}\)
4. \(3 \times 10^{-6}\)
View Answer

Intensity of magnetisation is \(I = \frac{M}{V} = \frac{M\rho}{m}\). Given \(m = 1\text{ gm}\), \(M = 6 \times 10^{-7}\text{ A-m}^2\), \(\rho = 5 \times 10^3\text{ kg/m}^3\). Thus \(I = \frac{6 \times 10^{-7} \times 5 \times 10^3}{10^{-3}} = 3.0\text{ A/m}\).

Question 114: easy

If magnetic field in space is \(1\text{ T } \hat{i}\), electric field is \(10\text{ N/C } \hat{i}\), no gravitational field is present and a charged particle is released from rest from origin, it will:

1. not move at all
2. move in circular path
3. move in a helical path
4. move on a straight line
View Answer

Since the particle starts from rest, its initial magnetic force is zero. The electric field accelerates it along \(\hat{i}\). Because velocity remains parallel to the magnetic field, the magnetic force remains zero, and it continues on a straight line.

Question 115: easy

Statement-1: In an isolated conductor, free electrons keep on moving but no net magnetic force acts on a conductor in a magnetic field.


Statement-2: In a conductor, the average velocity of thermal motion of electrons is zero. Hence no current flows through the conductor.

1. Both Statement-1 and Statement-2 are true and Statement-2 is the correct explanation of Statement-1.
2. Both Statement-1 and Statement-2 are true but Statement-2 is not correct explanation of Statement-1.
3. Statement-1 is true but Statement-2 is false.
4. Statement-1 and Statement-2 are false.
View Answer

The net magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor is given by \(F = I L B\). Since average velocity of thermal motion is zero, current \(I = 0\), resulting in zero net force.

Question 116: easy

A long straight wire carries an electric current \(4\text{ A}\). The magnetic induction at a perpendicular distance \(2\text{ m}\) from the wire is

1. \(2 \times 10^{-7}\text{ T}\)
2. \(4 \times 10^{-7}\text{ T}\)
3. \(2 \times 10^{-8}\text{ T}\)
4. \(4 \times 10^{-8}\text{ T}\)
View Answer

The magnetic field near a long straight wire is given by \(B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}\). Substituting \(I = 4\text{ A}\) and \(r = 2\text{ m}\) with \(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\text{ T m/A}\) gives \(B = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 4}{4\pi} = 4 \times 10^{-7}\text{ T}\).

Question 117: easy

A magnetic field strength (\(H\)) equal to \(3 \times 10^3\text{ A m}^{-1}\) produces a magnetic field of induction (\(B\)) equal to \(12\pi\) tesla in an iron rod. The relative permeability of the iron rod is

1. \(10^3\)
2. \(10^2\)
3. \(10^4\)
4. \(10^5\)
View Answer

The relationship is \(B = \mu H = \mu_r \mu_0 H\). Given \(B = 12\pi\text{ T}\), \(H = 3 \times 10^3\text{ A m}^{-1}\), and \(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\text{ T m A}^{-1}\). Thus, \(12\pi = \mu_r (4\pi \times 10^{-7})(3 \times 10^3)\), which simplifies to \(\mu_r = 10^4\).

Question 118: easy

If the direction of the initial velocity of a charged particle is neither along nor perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, then the path of charged particle will be

1. An ellipse
2. A circle
3. A straight line
4. A helix
View Answer

When velocity vector is at an angle \(\theta\) (where \(0^\circ < \theta < 90^\circ\)) to the magnetic field, the component parallel to the field produces linear translation, while the perpendicular component produces circular motion. The combined path is a helix.

Question 119: moderate

In the product \(\vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) = q \vec{v} \times (B_x \hat{i} + B_y \hat{j} + B_0 \hat{k})\), for \(q = 1\) and \(\vec{v} = 2\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}\) and \(\vec{F} = 4\hat{i} – 20\hat{j} + 12\hat{k}\). What will be the complete expression for \(vec{B}\)?

1. \(6\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} - 8\hat{k}\)
2. \(-8\hat{i} - 8\hat{j} - 6\hat{k}\)
3. \(-6\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} - 8\hat{k}\)
4. \(8\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} - 6\hat{k}\)
View Answer

Using the relation \(\vec{F} = \vec{v} \times \vec{B}\), we compare vector components: \(4\hat{i} - 20\hat{j} + 12\hat{k} = (4 B_0 - 6 B_y)\hat{i} - (2 B_0 - 6 B_x)\hat{j} + (2 B_y - 4 B_x)\hat{k}\). Testing the values in Option C gives \(B_x = -6\, B_y = -6\, B_0 = -8\), which completely satisfies all equations.

Question 120: easy

A uniform bar magnet has magnetic moment \(M\). If it is cut into 4 equal parts parallel to its length such that the width of each part is same, then the magnetic moment of each part will be:

1. \[\frac{M}{4}\]
2. \[\frac{M}{3}\]
3. \[\frac{M}{5}\]
4. \[M\]
View Answer

Cutting parallel to length into 4 equal parts keeps the length the same but reduces the pole strength to \(m' = frac{m}{4}\). Hence, the new magnetic moment is \(M' = m'L = \frac{M}{4}\).
