Topic 2: Ampere's law

1. ⇒  (NEET 2022 Phase 1)

A long solenoid of radius 1 mm has 100 turns per mm. If 1 A current flows in the solenoid, the magnetic field strength at the centre of the solenoid is

A. 6.28 × 10 2 T

B. 12.56 × 10 2 T

C. 12.56 × 10 4 T

D. 6.28 × 10 4 T

Correct Answer is Option (B)

We know, magnetic field at centre of solenoid

B = μ 0 N l l = μ 0 n l [ n = N l ]

= 4 π × 10 7 × 100 × 10 3 × 1 [ n = 100 10 3 ]

= 4 π × 10 2 T

B = 12.56 × 10 2 T

   

2. ⇒  ( NEET 2022 Phase 1)

From Ampere's circuital law for a long straight wire of circular cross-section carrying a steady current, the variation of magnetic field in the inside and outside region of the wire is

A. Uniform and remains constant for both the regions.

B. A linearly increasing function of distance upto the boundary of the wire and then linearly decreasing for the outside region.

C. A linearly increasing function of distance r upto the boundary of the wire and then decreasing one with 1 r dependence for the outside region.

D. A linearly decreasing function of distance upto the boundary of the wire and then a linearly increasing one of the outside region.

Correct Answer is Option (C)

For solid wire

Inside point

B = μ 0 I r 2 R 2 × 2 π r

= μ 0 I r R 2 × 2 π

B r

Outside point

B = μ 0 I 2 π r

B 1 r

   

3. ⇒  (NEET 2020 Phase 1)

A long solenoid of 50 cm length having 100 turns carries a current of 2.5 A. The magnetic field at the centre of the solenoid is :
( μ 0 = 4 π × 10 7 T m A 1 )

A. 3.14 × 10 4 T

B. 6.28 × 10 5 T

C. 3.14 × 10 5 T

D. 6.28 × 10 4 T

Correct Answer is Option (D)

Magnetic field at centre of solenoid = μ 0 n I
n = N L = 100 50 × 10 2
= 200 turns/m
I = 25A
Now, substituting the values,
B = 4 π × 10-7 × 200 × 2.5
= 6.28 × 10-4 T

C.

NEET 2019 Physics - Moving Charges and Magnetism Question 17 English Option 3

D.

NEET 2019 Physics - Moving Charges and Magnetism Question 17 English Option 4

Correct Answer is Option (C)

The magnetic field inside conductor is given as

B = μ 0 2 π i R 2 d

B d

If, straight line passing through origin, at surface (d = R)

B = μ 0 2 π i R

For the maximum B at outside surface (d > R)

B = μ 0 2 π i d

B 1 d

   

5. ⇒  (NEET 2016 Phase 1)

A long straight wire of radius a carries a steady current I . The current is uniformly distributed over its cross-section. The ratio of the magnetic fields B and B', at radial distance a 2 and 2 a respectively, from the axis of the wire is

A. 1

B. 4

C. 1 4

D. 1 2

Correct Answer is Option (A)

For points inside the wire i.e., (r R)

Magnetic field B = μ 0 I r 2 π R 2

For points outside the wire (r R)

Magnetic field, B = μ 0 I 2 π R

B B = μ 0 I ( a / 2 ) 2 π a 2 μ 0 I 2 π ( 2 a ) = 1 : 1

   

6. ⇒  ( AIPMT 2010 Mains)

A closely wound solenoid of 2000 turns and area of cross-section 1.5 × 10 4 m2 carries a current of 2.0 A. It is suspended through its centre and perpendicular to its length, allowing it to turn in a horizontal plane in a uniform magnetic field 5 × 10 2 tesla making an angle of 30o with the axis of the solenoid. The torque on the solenoid will be

A. 3 × 10 3 N m

B. 1.5 × 10 3 N m

C. 1.5 × 10 2 N m

D. 3 × 10 2 N m

Correct Answer is Option (C)

Magnetic moment of the loop.

M = NIA = 2000 × 2 × 1.5 × 10–4 = 0.6 J/T

Torque τ = MBsin30°

= 0.6 × 5 × 10 2 × 1 2 = 1.5 × 10 2 N m

   

7. ⇒  (AIPMT 2003)

A long solenoid carrying a current producess a magnetic field B along its axis. If the current is doubled and the number of turns per cm is halved, the new value of the magnetic field is

A. B/2

B. B

C. 2B

D. 4B

Correct Answer is Option (B)

Magnetic field induction at point inside the solenoid of length l, having n turns per unit length carrying current i is given by

B = μ 0ni

If i doubled, n halved then B remains same.
