[Take μ 0 = 4 π × 10–7 NA–2]

A. 3 μ T

B. 18 μ T

C. 9 μ T

D. 1 μ T

Correct Answer is Option (B)

For a current carrying wire, magnetic field at a distance r is given by

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 10th April Evening Slot Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 102 English Explanation 1
B = μ 0 i 4 π r ( sin θ 1 + sin θ 2 )

Now, in given case,

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 10th April Evening Slot Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 102 English Explanation 2

Due to symmetry of arrangement, net field at centre of triangle is

B net  =  Sum of fields of all wires (sides)  = 3 × μ 0 i 4 π r ( sin θ 1 + sin θ 2 )

Here, θ 1 = θ 2 = 60

sin θ 1 = sin θ 2 = 3 2 , i = 10   A , μ 0 4 π = 10 7 NA 2  and  r = 1 3 ×  altitude  = 1 3 × 3 2 ×  sides length  = 1 2 3 × 1   m = 1 2 3   m

So,

B net = 3 × 10 7 × 10 × 2 ( 3 2 ) ( 1 2 3 ) = 18 × 10 6   T B net = 18 μ T

Two very long, straight, and insulated wires are kept at 90° angle from each other in xy-plane as shown in the figure. These wires carry currents of equal magnitude I, whose directions are shown in the figure. The net magnetic field at point P will be : JEE Main 2019 (Online) 8th April Evening Slot Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 109 English

A. + μ 0 I π d ( z )

B. μ 0 I 2 π d ( x + y )

C. Zero

D. μ 0 I 2 π d ( x + y )

One of the two identical conducting wires of length L is bent in the form of a circular loop and the other one into a circular coil of N identical turns. If the same current is passed in both, the radio of the magnetic field at the central of the loop (BL) to that at the center of the coil (BC), i.e. B L B C will be :

A. N

B. 1 N

C. N2

D. 1 N 2

Correct Answer is Option (D)

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 9th January Evening Slot Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 119 English Explanation
For loop,

L = 2 π R

For coil,

L = N × 2 π r

   2 π R = N × 2 π r

  R = Nr

  r = R N

We know,

BL = μ 0 i 2 R

and  BC = N × μ 0 i 2 r

   B L B C = μ 0 i 2 R N × μ 0 i 2 ( R N ) = 1 N 2

A current loop, having two circular arcs joined by two radial lines is shown in the figure. It carries a current of 10 A. The magnetic field at point O will be close to :

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 9th January Morning Slot Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 122 English

A. 1.0 × 10 7 T

B. 1.5 × 10 7 T

C. 1.5 × 10 5 T

D. 1.0 × 10 5 T

Correct Answer is Option (D)

Magnetic field due to circular arc

B = μ 0 i θ 4 π r

Due to QR arc magnetic field is outward direction of the plane.

And due to PS arc magnetic field is inward direction of the plane,

So, net magnetic field,

B = ( B Q R B P S ) K ^

B = μ 0 i θ 4 π ( 1 3 × 10 2 1 5 × 10 2 ) K ^

B = 10 7 × 10 × π 4 ( 1 3 × 10 2 1 5 × 10 2 ) K ^

| B | = 1 × 10 5 T

A current of 1 A is flowing on the sides of an equilateral triangle of side 4.5 × 10-2 m. The magnetic field at the center of the triangle will be :

A. 2 × 10-5 Wb/m2

B. Zero

C. 5 × 10-5 Wb/m2

D. 4 × 10-5 Wb/m2

Correct Answer is Option (D)

We know that magnetic field due to finite current carrying wire is

B = μ 0 4 π I b ( cos θ 1 + cos θ 2 ) ..... (1)

JEE Main 2018 (Online) 15th April Evening Slot Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 129 English Explanation

Given that side of triangle = 4.5 × 10 2 m = a; current = 1A since the triangle is equilateral, angle of each side will be 60 .

Now, tan θ = P e r p e n d i c u l a r B a s e tan 60 = a / 2 b

b = a 2 tan 60 = a 2 3

Using equation (1), we get

B = μ 0 4 π I a / 2 3 ( cos 30 + cos 30 ) = μ 0 4 π 2 3 I a 2 cos 30

B = μ 0 4 π 2 3 I a 2 × 3 2 = μ 0 4 π 6 I a

B = 10 7 × 6 × 1 4.5 × 10 2 = 1.33 × 10 5 2 × 10 5 Wb/m2
