A current loop consists of two identical semicircular parts each of radius R, one lying in the x-y plane and
the other in x-z plane. If the current in the loop is . The resultant magnetic field due to the two
semicircular parts at their common centre is
A.
B.
C.
D.
Correct Answer is Option (A)
Magnetic fields due to the two parts at their common centre are respectively,
and
Resultant field =

Charge q is uniformly spread on a thin ring of radius R. The ring rotates about its axis with a uniform
frequency Hz. The magnitude of magnetic induction at the center of
the ring is
A.
B.
C.
D.
Correct Answer is Option (B)
When the ring rotates about its axis with a uniform frequency f Hz, the current flowing in the
ring is
I = = qf
Magnetic field at the centre of the ring is
B = =

Two circular coils 1 and 2 are made from the same wire but the radius of the 1st coil is twice
that of the 2nd coil. What is the ratio of potential difference in volts should be applied across
them so that the magnetic field at their centres is the same?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 6
Correct Answer is Option (C)
Let r1 and r2 are the radius of coil 1 and 2. If B1
and B2 are magnetic induction at their centre,
then
and
Since B1 = B2 ; and r1 = 2r2
therefore I1 = 2I2.
Again if R1 and R2 are resistance of the coil 1
and 2 then R1 = 2R2 (as R length = 2r) and if
V1 and V2 are the potential difference across
them respectively, then

The magnetic field of given length of wire for single turn coil at its centre is B then its value for two
turns coil for the same wire is
