In previous problem, if the current is I and the magnetic field at D has magnitude B, thenA. `B=(mu_0I)/(2sqrt2pi)`B. `B=(mu_0I)/(2sqrt3pi)`C. B is parallel to the z-axisD. B makes an angle of `45^@` with the x-y plane

Answer» Correct Answer - (a,d)
The magnitude of the magnetic field depends only on the distance
from the x-axis. Point A and C are at distance of 1 unit each
from the x-axis. Points B and D are at distance of `sqrt2` unit each
from the x-axis. Magnetic field at point D,
`B=(mu_0I)/(1sqrt2pi)`
It is obvious that B is inclined at an angle of `45^@` with the
x-y plane.

`implies m(2hati+xhatj).(3hati+4hatj)=0`
`implies 6+4x=0 implies x=-1.5`
Let the magnetic field is `vecB=ahati+bhatj+chatk`, then from `vecF=qvecv xx vecB`
`implies m(2hati+xhatj)=q(3hati+4hatj)xx(ahati+bhatj+chatk)`
`implies 2mhati-1.5mhatj=q(3bhatk-3chatj-4ahatk+4chati)`

A slightly divergent beam of charged particles accelerated by a Potential difference V propogates from a point A along the axis of a solenoid. The beam is brought into focus at a distance l from the point A at two successive values of magnetic induction `B_1 and B_2.` Find the specific charge `q//m` of the particles.

Answer» Let us first calculate the velocity of the particles from the
energy equation,
`1/2mv^2=Vq implies v=sqrt((2Vq)/m)`
Since the charged particles are slightly divergent, they will follow
a helical path. Let `theta` be the small angle made by a particle with
`B cos theta~=1`
`:.` P(pitch of the particle)=`v_(||)xxT`
`=v cos thetaxx(2pim)/(qB)=(2pivm)/(qB)`
Particles are focussed if l contains integral number of pitches.
`l=np implies p=l//n= l, l//2, l//3,....`
`:.` for two consecutive focussing (as B increases, p decrease)
`l=(2pimv)/(qB_1) and l/2=(2pimv)/(qB_2)`
or `B_1=(2pimv)/(ql) and B_2=(4pimv)/(ql)`,
or `B_2-B_1=(2pimv)/(ql) or B_2-B_1=(2pim)/(ql)sqrt((2Vq)/m),`
or `q/m=(8pi^2V)/(l^2(B_2-B_1)^2)`

If a charge rotating in circle constitues a current `I`,
`B=(mu_(0)i)/(2r)`, where `iq/t=(qv)/(2pir)`
Since field due to rotation of all charges are in same direction
`B=Sigma (mu_(0)qv)/(4pir^(2)) =(mu_(0)q)/(4pi) (1+1+1/2+1/2+1/3+1/3)`
`implies B=(11 mu_(0)q)/(12pi)`

A charged particle moves with velocity `v` in a uniform magnetic field `vecB`. The magnetic force experienced by the particle isA. Always zeroB. Never zeroC. Zero, if `vecB` and `vecV` are perpendicularD. Zero, if `vecB` and `vecv`are parallel

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`vecF=q(vecvxxvecB), if vecv||vecB then vecF=0`

A particle with charge 2.0 C movess through a uniform magnetic field. At one instant the velocity of the particle is `(2.0hati+4.0hatj+6.0hatk)` m`//`s and the magnetic force on the particle is `(4.0hati-20hatj+12hatk)` N. The x and y components of the magnetic fields are equal. What is `vecB` ?

Answer» Correct Answer - `vecB=(-3.0hati-3.0hatj-4.0hatk)T`

A charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field. The velocity of the particle at some instant makes an acute angle with the magnetic field. The path of the particle will beA. A straight lineB. A circleC. A helix with uniform pitchD. A helix with non uniform pitch

Answer» Correct Answer - C
When particle enters at angle other than `0^(@)` or `90^(@)` or `180^(@)`, path followed is helix.

A proton (or charged particle) moving with velocity `v` is acted upon by electric field `E` and magnetic field `B`. The proton will move underflected ifA. E is perpenducular to BB. E is parallel to v and perpendicular to BC. E,B and v are mutually perpendicular and v=E/BD. E and B both are parallel to v

Answer» Correct Answer - C
In this case `|vecF_(e)|=|vecF_(m)|` and both forces are opposite to each other.

A proton and a deuteron both having the same kinetic energy, enter perpendicularly into a uniform magnetic field `B`. For motion of proton and deuteron on circular path or radius `R_(p)` and `R_(d)` respectively, the correct statement isA. `R_(d)=sqrt2R_(p)`B. `R_(d)=R_(p)//sqrt2`C. `R_(d)=R_(p)`D. `R_(d)=2R_(p)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`(mv^(2))/(R)=qvB.` For proton `R_(p)=(mv)/(qB)=sqrt(2m_(p)E)/(qB)`
and for deuteron `R_(d)=(sqrt(2m_(d)E))/(qB)`
`implies (R_(d))/(R_(p))=sqrt(m_(d)/(m_(p)))=sqrt(2) impliesR_(d)=sqrt(2)R_(p)`

An electron is moving along positive x-axis. To get it moving on an anticlockwise circular path in x-y plane, a magnetic field is appliedA. along positive y-axisB. along positive z-axisC. along negative y-axisD. along negative z-axis

Answer» Correct Answer - b
For the particle to move along anticlockwise path, force
should be along `hatj`. Velocity is along `hati`.
Now, `vecF_m=-e(vecVxxvecB)`
In terms of unit vectors only,
`hatj=-(hatixxhat?) or hatj=hat?xxhati`
Clearly, `hat? is hatk.`
