Figure shows a right-angled isosceles `DeltaPQR` having its base equal to a. A current of I ampere is passing downwards along a thin straight wire cutting the plane of paper normally as shown at Q. Likewise a similar wire carries an equal current passing normally upwards at R. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field induction B at P. Assume the wires to be infinity long.

Answer» Given `PQ=r_1`, `PR=r_2`
In `DeltaPQR`, `a^2=r_1^2+r_2^2`
Magnetic field induction at point P due to the current passing through wire at Q is
`B_1=(mu_0I)/(2pir_1)` acting along PR
Magnetic field induction at point P due to current passing through wire at R is
`B_2=(mu_0I)/(2pir_2)` acting along PQ.
Since `vecB_1` and `vecB_2` are perpendicular to each other, the resultant magnetic field induction at P is

Figure shows a right-angled isosceles `DeltaPQR` having its base equal to a. A current of I ampere is passing downwards along a thin straight wire cutting the plane of paper normally as shown at Q. Likewise a similar wire carries an equal current passing normally upwards at R. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field induction B at P. Assume the wires to be infinity long.

Answer» Here, `PQ=QR=r`. In art angled `DeltaPQR`, we have,
`a^2=r^2+r^2=2r^2`
or `r=a//sqrt2`
Magnetic field at point P due to current through wire at Q is
`B_1=(mu_0)/(4pi)(2I)/(r)=(mu_0I)/(2pir)=(mu_0I)/(2pi(a//sqrt2))=(mu_0I)/(sqrt2pia)`
It is acting along PR.
Magnetic field at point P due to current through wire at R is
`B_2=(mu_0I)/(sqrt2pia)`, acting along PQ
As `vecB_1` and `vecB_2` are acting perpendicular to each other, so the resultant magnetic field at P is
`B=sqrt(B_1^2+B_2^2)=sqrt(((mu_0I)/(sqrtpia))^2+((mu_0I)/(sqrt2pia))^2)`
`=sqrt(2)(mu_0I)/(sqrt2pia)=(mu_0I)/(pia)`
It acts towards the mid-point of QR.

A long solenoid has 1000 turns per metre and carries a current of `1A`. It has a soft iron core of `mu_r=1000`. The core is heated beyond the Curie temperature, `T_c`.A. The `vecH` field in the solenoid is (nearly) unchanged but the `vecB` field decreases drasticallyB. The `vecH` and `vecB` fields in the solenoid are nearly unchangedC. The magnetisation in the core reverse directionD. The magnetisation in the core diminishes by a factor of about `10^8`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::D
In the solenoid, `H=nI=a` constant and `B=mu_0mu_rnI` changes due to variation in `mu_r`. When temperature of the iron core of solenoid (which is ferromagnetic materials) is raised beyond curie temperature, then soft iron core behaves as para magnetic material. We know that `(chi_m)_(para)~~10^-5.(chi_m)_(Ferro)~~10^3`
`:. ((chi_m)_(Ferro))/((chi_m)_(Para))=10^3/10^-5=10^8`
Thus magnetisation of the core diminishes by a factor `10^8`. Hence, options (a) and (d) are correct.

A proton (charge `=1*6xx10^(-19)C`, mass `m=1*67xx10^(-27)kg`) is shot with a speed `8xx10^6ms^-1` at an angle of `30^@` with the x-axis. A uniform magnetic field `B=0*30T` exists along the x-axis. Show that the path of the proton is helix and find the radius of the helix.

Answer» Correct Answer - `13*92cm`
Component velocity of proton along x-axis will be
`v_x=v cos 30^@=8xx10^6xxsqrt3/2`
`=6*93xx10^6ms^-1`.
Component velocity of proton along y-axis will be
`v_y=vsin 30^@=8xx10^6xx1/2=4xx10^6ms^-1`
Since the angle between velocity component `v_x` and magnetic field B is `0^@`, therefore magnetic force on proton due to component velocity `v_x` will be
`F=qv_xBsin0^@=0`.
Thus the proton will move uniformly along x-axis. As the component velocity of proton along y-axis, `v_y` is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field, therefore, the magnetic force on proton
`F=qv_yBsin90^@=qv_yB`
will acts as centripetal force and proton will describe a circular path due to this component velocity. As the proton covers linear distance as well as describes a circular path, hence the path of the proton will be helix. Radius of the helix will be given by
`qv_yB=mv_y^2//r`
or `r=(mv_y)/(qB)=(1*67xx10^(-27)xx4xx10^6)/(1*6xx10^(-19)xx0*30)`
`=13*92xx10^-2m=13*92cm`

A magnetic field of `100G(1G=10^-4T)` is required which is uniform in a region of linear dimension about `10cm` and area of cross section about `10^-3m^2`. The maximum current carrying capacity of a given coil of wire is `15A` and the number of turns per unit length that can be wound round a core is at most `1000turns m^-1`. Suggest some appropriate design particulars of a solenoid for the required purpose. Assume the core is not ferromagnetic.

Answer» Here, `B=100G=10^-2T`, `I=15A`, `n=1000m^-1`
As, `B=mu_0nI` or `nI=(B)/(mu_0)=(10^-2)/(4pixx10^-7)=(10^-2)/(4xx(22//7)xx10^-7)=7955~~8000`
We may have, `I=10A`, `n=800`. The core length may be `50cm` having 400 turns and area of cross-section is `5xx10^-3m^2` which is five times given value.
