Current is flowing in a coil of area $$A$$ and number of turns $$N,$$ then magnetic moment of the coil, $$M$$ is equal to
A
$$NiA$$
B
$$\frac{{Ni}}{A}$$
C
$$\frac{{Ni}}{{\sqrt A }}$$
D
$${N^2}Ai$$
Answer :
$$NiA$$
If there are $$N$$ turns in a coil, $$i$$ is the current flowing and $$A$$ is the area of the coil, then magnetic dipole moment or simply magnetic moment of the coil is $$M = NiA$$
As we know when velocity of charged particle entering to magnetic field region is perpendicular to $$B,$$ then it follows circular path.

An arrangement of three parallel straight wires placed perpendicular to plane of paper carrying same current $$I$$ along the same direction is shown in figure. Magnitude of force per unit length on the middle wire $$B$$ is given by
As force on wire $$B$$ due to $$A$$ and $$C$$ are attractive, so we have following condition
$$F = \frac{{{\mu _0}{I^2}}}{{2\pi d}}$$
Resultant force on $$B$$
$$ = \sqrt {F_1^2 + F_2^2} = \sqrt 2 F = \sqrt 2 \times \frac{{{\mu _0}{I^2}}}{{2\pi d}} = \frac{{{\mu _0}{I^2}}}{{\sqrt 2 \pi d}}$$

When a current of $$5 mA$$ is passed through a galvanometer having a coil of resistance $$15\,\Omega $$ it shows full scale deflection. The value of the resistance to be put in series with the galvanometer to convert it into to voltmeter of range $$0 - 10 V$$ is

$$2.535 \times {10^3}\Omega $$
B
$$4.005 \times {10^3}\Omega $$
C
$$1.985 \times {10^3}\Omega $$
D
$$2.045 \times {10^3}\Omega $$
Answer :
$$1.985 \times {10^3}\Omega $$
Given : Current through the galvanometer,
$${i_g} = 5 \times {10^{ - 3}}A$$
Galvanometer resistance, $$G = 15\,\Omega $$
Let resistance $$R$$ to be put in series with the galvanometer to convert it into a voltmeter.
$$\eqalign{
& V = {i_g}\left( {R + G} \right) \cr
& 10 = 5 \times {10^{ - 3}}\left( {R + 15} \right) \cr
& \therefore R = 2000 - 15 = 1985 \cr
& = 1.985 \times {10^3}\,\Omega \cr} $$

Consider two thin identical conducting wires covered with very thin insulating material. One of the wires is bent into a loop and produces magnetic field $${B_1},$$ at its centre when a current $$I$$ passes through it. The ratio $${B_1}:{B_2}$$ is:
A
$$1:1$$
B
$$1:3$$
C
$$1:9$$
D
$$9:1$$
Answer :
$$1:3$$
For loop $$B = \frac{{{\mu _0}nI}}{{2a}}$$
where, $$a$$ is the radius of loop.
Then, $${B_1} = \frac{{{\mu _0}I}}{{2a}}$$
Now, for coil $$B = \frac{{{\mu _0}I}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{{2nA}}{{{x^3}}}$$
at the centre $$x$$ = radius of loop
$$\eqalign{
& {B_2} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}.\frac{{2 \times 3 \times \left( {\frac{I}{3}} \right) \times \pi {{\left( {\frac{a}{3}} \right)}^2}}}{{{{\left( {\frac{a}{3}} \right)}^3}}} = \frac{{{\mu _0}.3I}}{{2a}} \cr
& \therefore \frac{{{B_1}}}{{{B_2}}} = \frac{{\frac{{{\mu _0}I}}{{2a}}}}{{\frac{{{\mu _0}.3I}}{{2a}}}} \cr
& {B_1}:{B_2} = 1:3 \cr} $$

At what distance from a long straight wire carrying a current of $$12\,A$$ will the magnetic field be equal to $$3 \times {10^{ - 5}}Wb/{m^2}$$ ?
A
$$8 \times {10^{ - 2}}m$$
B
$$12 \times {10^{ - 2}}m$$
C
$$18 \times {10^{ - 2}}m$$
D
$$24 \times {10^{ - 2}}m$$
Answer :
$$8 \times {10^{ - 2}}m$$
Total magnetic field due to current carrying straight wire at any point $$P$$ is given by
$$B = \frac{{{\mu _0}i}}{{4\pi r}}\left( {\sin {\phi _1} + \sin {\phi _2}} \right)$$ When the conductor is of infinite length and point $$P$$ lies near the centre of conductor, then $${\phi _1} = {\phi _2} = {90^ \circ }$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore B = \frac{{{\mu _0}i}}{{4\pi r}}\left( {\sin {{90}^ \circ } + \sin {{90}^ \circ }} \right) \cr
& = \frac{{{\mu _0}i}}{{4\pi r}} \cdot \frac{{2i}}{r} \Rightarrow r = \frac{{{\mu _0}i}}{{2\pi B}} \cr} $$
Here, current $$\left( i \right) = 12\,A,$$
magnetic field $$\left( B \right) = 3 \times {10^{ - 5}}\,Wb/{m^2}$$
$$\therefore $$ Perpendicular distance from wire to the point,
$$\eqalign{
& r = \frac{{4\pi \times {{10}^{ - 7}} \times 12}}{{2 \times \pi \times \left( {3 \times {{10}^{ - 5}}} \right)}} \cr
& = 8 \times {10^{ - 2}}m \cr} $$

A horizontal overhead powerline is at height of $$4m$$ from the ground and carries a current of $$100A$$ from east to west. The magnetic field directly below it on the ground is $$\left( {{\mu _0} = 4\pi \times {{10}^{ - 7}}Tm\,{A^{ - 1}}} \right)$$
The magnetic field is $$B = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}\frac{{2I}}{r}$$
$$\eqalign{
& = {10^{ - 7}} \times \frac{{2 \times 100}}{4} \cr
& = 5 \times {10^{ - 6}}T \cr} $$
According to right hand palm rule, the magnetic field is directed towards south.

A beam of electrons passes undeflected through mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. If the electric field is switched OFF and the same magnetic field is maintained, the electrons move
A
in an elliptical orbit
B
in a circular orbit
C
along a parabolic path
D
along a straight line
Answer :
in a circular orbit
If both electric and magnetic fields are present and are perpendicular to each other and the particle is moving perpendicular to both of them with $${F_e} = {F_m}.$$ In this situation $$E \ne 0$$ and $$B \ne 0$$ and $${F_e} + {F_m} = 0.$$
But if electric field becomes zero, then only force due to magnetic field exists. And $$E$$ is perpendicular to the $$B$$ so the charge moves along a circle.
