A current carrying closed loop in the from of a right angle isoseles triangle `ABC` is placed in a unifrom magnetic fild acting along `AB`. If the magnetic force on the arm `BC` is `F`, the force on the arm `AC` is A. `-F`B. `F`C. `sqrt(2) F`D. `-sqrt(2) F`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
When a current carrying closed loop is placed in a unifrom magnetic field, it experiences no net force.
`vec(F)_(AB) + vec(F)_(BC) + vec(F)_(CA) = 0`. But `vec(F)_(AB) = 0` as the side `AB` is parallel to magnetic field hence it wil experience no force due to magnetic field.
Hence `vec(F)_(BC) + vec(F)_(CA) = 0 implies vec(F)_(BC) = -vec(F)_(CA)`

A ring of radius R having unifromly distributed charge Q is mounted on a rod suspended by two identical strings. The tension in strings in equilibrium is `T_0.` Now a vertical magnetic field is switched on and ring is rotated at constant angular velocity `omega`. Find the maximum `omega` with which the ring can be rotated if the strings can withstand a maximum tension of `3T_0 //2.`

Answer» In equilibrium,
`2T_0=mg`
or `T_0=(mg)/2….(i)`
magnetic moment, `M=iA=(omega/(2pi)Q)(piR^2)`
`tau=MB sin90^@=(omegaBQR^2)/2`
Let `T_1 and T_2` be the tensions in the two strings when magnetic
field is switched on `(T_1gtT_2)`
For translation equilibrium,
`T_1+T_2=mg....(ii)`
For rotational equilibrium
`(T_1-T_2)D/2=tau=(omegaBQR^2)/2`
or `T_1-T_2=(omegaBQR^2)/D....(iii)`
Solving Eqs. (ii) and (iii) we have
`T_1=(mg)/2+(omegaBQR^2)/(2D)`
As `T_1gtT_2` and maximum values of `T_1` can be `3T_0//2`, we have
`(3T_0)/2=T_0+(omega_(max)BQR^2)/(2D) ((mg)/2=T_0)`
`:. omega_(max)=(DT_0)/(BQR^2)`

In mass spectrometer used for measuring the masses of ions, the ions are initaily accerlerated by an electric potential `V` and then made to describe semicircular paths of radius `R` using a magnetic field `B`.if `V` and `B` are kept constant, the ratio `(("charg e on the ion")/("mass of the ion"))` will be propertional to:A. `(1)/(R)`B. `(1)/(R^(2))`C. `R^(2)`D. `R`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
(b) If an ion of charge `q` mass `m` moves in magnetic fied of flux density `B` with velocity `v`, its path is circular. The magnetic force `qvB` acting on the ion provides required centripeteal force `(mv^(2))/(R)` on the ion moving in a circular path of radius `R`.
`(mv^(2))/(R) = qvB implies R = (mv)/(qB)`
The angular frequency of rotation of the ions about the vertical field `B` is given by `omega = (v)/(R) = (qB)/(m)`
Energy of ion is given by `E = (1)/(2) mv^(2) = (1)/(2) m(R omega)^(2)`
`implies E = (1)/(2) mR^(2) B^(2) (q^(2))/(m^(2))`
or `E = (1)/(2) (R^(2) B^(2) q^(2))/(m)` ....(i)
If ions are accelearated by electric potential `V`, then energy attained by ions,
`E = qV`
From Eqs.(I) and (ii), we get
`qV = (1)/(2) (R^(2) B^(2) q^(2))/(m)` or `(q)/(m) = (2V)/(R^(2) B^(2))`
If `V` and `B` are kept constant , then `(q)/(m) prop (1)/(R^(2))`

Calculate the force on a current carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field as shown in Fig. 1.59.

Answer» The net force from `A` to `B` is `dvecF=I(dvecLxxvecB)`
`int_A^BdvecF=int_A^PI[dvecL_1xxvecB]+int_P^QI[dvecL_2xxvecB]+int_Q^RI[dvecL_3xxvecB]+int_R^TI[dvecL_4xxvecB]+int_T^BI[dvecL_5xxvecB]`
The entire path can be broken down into element vectors joined to each other in sequence. We known, from polygon law of addition of vectors, that vector joining the tail of the first vector to the
head of the last vector is the resultant.
`vecF=I(vecLxxvecB)`
where `|vecL_1|=a+sqrt(c^2-b^2+2r+d`
`F_("net") =IB(a+sqrt(c^2-b^2)+2r+d)` and its direction is upward on plane of paper.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Since `L=2pir, r=(L)/(2pi)`
Area of circle `pir^(2)=(piL^(2))/(4pi^(2))=(L^(2))/(4pi)`
Area of each half of circle `=(L^(2))/(8pi)`
Magnetic moment of each half `=(L^(2)i)/(8pi)`
The two magnetic moments are at right angles to each other.
Magnetic moment of the frame
`=sqrt(((L^(2)i)/(8pi))^(2)+((L^(2)i)/(8pi))^(2))=(sqrt2.L^(2)i)/(8pi)=(L^(2)i)/(4sqrt(2pi))`

A constant current `I` is flowing through a circular coil placed in uniform magnetic field `vecB` as shown. Then: A. The loop is in stable equilibriumB. The loop is in unstable equilibriumC. The torque acting on the loop is maximumD. The torque acting on the loop is `(1)/(sqrt(2))` times the maximum torque

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Torque acting on the loop is `tau=MxxB=Mbsintheta`
Where `theta=` angle between `M` and `B`
In the figure shown `theta=90^(@)` because `B` is in place of loop.
Or `tau=MB=`maximum torque
Hence, (c) is correct and choice (d) is wrong.
Since, torque is acting on the loop so loop is not in equilibrium.
Hence, choices (a) and (b) are wrong.

Which of the following statements is correct?A. If the moving charged particle enters into a region of magnetic field form outside, it does not complete a circular path.B. If a moving charged particle traces a helical path in a uniform magnetic field, the axis of the helix is parallel to the magnetic field.C. The power associated with the force exerted by a magnetic field on a moving charged particle moving charged particle is always equal to zero.D. If in a region a uniform magnetic field and a uniform electric field both exist, a charged particle moving in this region cannot trace a circular path.

Answer» Correct Answer - (a,b,c,d)
Option (a) and (b) are theoretically facts. As in case of moving
charged particle in magnetic field `vecF_(mag)botvecv`, hence power ass-
ociated will be zero (option (c) is correct ).
If both the elctric and mangnetic fields exist: If `vecB||vecE`, the path
of the charged particle will be helical.
If `vecB` is not parallel to `vecE`, the radius of the charged particle will
not be constant. Hence, the path will not be circular (option(d)
is correct).
