Two very long straight parallel wires carry steady currents i and 2i in opposite directions. The
distance between the wires is d. At a certain instant of time a point charge q is at a point
equidistant from the two wires in the plane of the wires. Its instantaneous velocity \(\overrightarrow{v}\)

is perpendicular to this plane. The magnitude of the force due to the magnetic field acting on the charge at this instant is :

1. \[\frac{\mu_{0}iqv}{2\pi d}\]
2. \[\frac{\mu_{0}iqv}{\pi d}\]
3. \[\frac{3\mu_{0}iqv}{2\pi d}\]
4. Zero

Question 59: 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 \(B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} = \frac{\mu_0 (1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{2(0.8)} = \mu_0 \times 10^{-19}\text{ T}\).

Question 60: moderate

If a charged particle goes unaccelerated in a region containing electric & magnetic fields:
(a) \(\vec{E}\) must be perpendicular to \(\vec{B}\)
(b) \(\vec{v}\) must be perpendicular to \(\vec{E}\)
(c) \(\vec{v}\) must be perpendicular to \(\vec{B}\)
(d) \(E\) must be equal to \(vB\)

1. (a), (b)
2. (c), (d)
3. (a), (c)
4. (b), (d)
View Answer

For the net force to be zero, \(\vec{F}_e + \vec{F}_b = 0 ⇒ \vec{E} = -(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\). Since \(\vec{E}\) is the cross product, it must be perpendicular to both \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{v}\).
