A. A long wire carries a steady current. It is bent into a circle of one turn and the magnetic field at the centre of the coil is B . It is then bent into a circular loop of n turns. The magnetic field at the center of the coil will be

B. n 2 B

C. n B

D. 2 n 2 B

Correct Answer is Option (B)

KEY CONCEPT : Magnetic field at the center of a circular coil of radius R carrying

current is B = μ 0 i 2 R

Given: n × ( 2 π r ) = 2 π R

n r = R . . . ( 1 )

B = n . μ 0 i 2 r . . . ( 2 )

from ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) , B = n μ 0 i . n 2 π R = n 2 B

52. (AIEEE 2004 )

The magnetic field due to a current carrying circular loop of radius 3 c m at a point on the axis at a distance of 4 c m from the centre is 54 μ T . What will be its value at the center of loop?

A. 125 μ T

B. 150 μ T

C. 250 μ T

D. 75 μ T

Correct Answer is Option (C)

The magnetic field at a point on the axis of a circular loop at a distance x from center is,

B = μ 0 i a 2 2 ( x 2 + a 2 ) 3 / 2 B = μ 0 i 2 a

B = B . ( x 2 + a 2 ) 3 / 2 a 3

Put x = 4 & a = 3 B = 54 ( 5 3 ) 3 × 3 × 3 = 250 μ T

53. (AIEEE 2002 )

If in a circular coil A of radius R , current I is flowing and in another coil B of radius 2 R a current 2 I is flowing, then the ratio of the magnetic fields B A and B B , produced by them will be

A. 1

B. 2

C. 1/2

D. 4

Correct Answer is Option (A)

KEY CONCEPT : We know that the magnetic field produced by a current carrying circular coil of radius r

at its center is B = μ 0 4 π I r × 2 π

Here B A = μ 0 4 π I R × 2 π and

B B = μ 0 4 π 2 I 2 R × 2 π

B A B B = 1

Wires 1 and 2 carrying currents i 1 and i 2 respectively are inclined at an angle θ to each other. What is the force on a small element d l of wire 2 at a distance of r from wire 1 (as shown in figure) due to the magnetic field of wire 1 ? AIEEE 2002 Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 140 English

A. μ 0 2 π r i 1 i 2 d l tan θ

B. μ 0 2 π r i 1 i 2 d l sin θ

C. μ 0 2 π r i 1 i 2 d l cos θ

D. μ 0 4 π r i 1 i 2 d l sin θ

Correct Answer is Option (C)

Magnetic field due to current in wire 1 at point P distant r from the wire is

AIEEE 2002 Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 140 English Explanation

B = μ 0 4 π i 1 r [ cos θ + cos θ ]

B = μ 0 2 π i 1 cos θ r (directed perpendicular to the plane of paper, inwards)

The force exerted due to this magnetic field on current element i 2 d l is

d F = i 2 d l B sin 90

d F = i 2 d l [ μ 0 2 π i 1 cos θ r ]

= μ 0 2 π r i 1 i 2 d l cos θ
