Topic:- Magnetic Effect of Current and Magnetism

1. An  -particle is accelerated by a potential difference of 104 V. Find the change in its direction of motion, if it
enters normally in a region of thickness 0.1 m having transverse magnetic induction of 0.1 Tesla. (Given: mass of
 -particle 6.4 × 10–7 kg)
2. A long horizontal wire AB which is free to move in a vertical plane and carries a steady current of 20 A, is in
equilibrium at a height of 0.01 m over another parallel long wire CD, which is fixed in a horizontal plane and
carries a steady current of 30 A, as shown in figure. Show that when AB is slightly depressed, it executes simple
harmonic motion. Find the period of oscillations.

3. A beam of charged particles, having kinetic energy 103 eV, contains masses 8 × 10–27 kg and 1.6 × 10–26 kg
emerge from the end of an accelerator tube. There is a plate at a distance 10–2 m from the end of the tube and
placed perpendicular to the beam. Calculate the magnitude of the smallest magnetic field which can prevent the
beam from striking the plate.

4. A long straight cylindrical hollow pipe has inner and outer radii 1 and 2 cm respectively. It carries a current 100
A. Calculate the magnetic field at distance (a) 0.5 cm, (b) 1.5 cm and (c) 4 cm from the axis of pipe.

5. A current i, indicated by the crosses in figure is established in a strip of copper of height h and width w. A
uniform field of magnetic induction B is applied at right angles to the strip.

(a) Calculate the drift velocity vd for the electrons.


(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force F acting on the electrons.
(c) What would be the magnitude and direction of a homogeneous electric field E have to be in order to
counterbalance the effect of magnetic field?
(d) What is the voltage V necessary between two sides of the conductor in order to create this field E?
Between which sides of the conductor would this voltage have to be applied?
(e) If no electric field is applied from the outside, the electrons will be pushed somewhat to one side and
therefore will give rise to a uniform electric field EH across the conductor until the forces of this
electrostatic field EH balance the magnetic force encountered in part-(b). What will be the magnitude and
direction of field EH? Assume that n, the number of conduction electrons per unit volume is 1.1 ×
10 29/metre3 and that h = 0.02 metre, w = 0.1 cm, i = 50 amp, and B = 2 weber/metre2.
6. A 2 keV position is projected into uniform field of induction B of 0.10 T with its velocity vector making an angle
of 89° with B. Convince your-self that the path will be a helix, its axis being the direction of B. Find the period,
the pitch p, and the radius r of the helix, see figure.

7. The distance between two plates of a cathode ray oscillograph is 1 cm and potential difference between them is
1200 volt. If an electron of energy 2000 eV enters at right angles to the field what will be its deflection if the
plates be 1.5 cm long?
8. A current i = 5.0 amp. flows along a thin wire shaped as shown in figure. The radius of curved part of the wire is
equal to R = 120 mm, the angle 2  = 90°. Find the magnetic induction of the field at the point O.

9. A proton, a deuteron and an  -particle have equal kinetic energies. Compare the radii of their paths when a
normal magnetic field is applied.
10. Determine the magnetic field at point P located a distance x from the corner of an infinitely long wire bent at right
angle as shown in figure. The wire carries a steady current i.
11. Consider the current carrying loop shown in figure formed of radial lines and segments of circles whose centres

are at point P. Find the magnitude and direction of B at point P.

12. Four long, parallel conductors carry equal currents of 5.0 A. The direction of the currents is into the page at
points A and B and out of the page at C and D. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at
point P, located at the centre of the square.

13. Uniform electric and magnetic fields with strength E and B are directed along the y-axis. A particle with specific
charge q/m leaves the origin in the direction of x-axis with an initial velocity v 0. Find:
(a) The y-coordinate of the particle when it crosses the y-axis for nth time.
(b) The angle  between the particle’s velocity vector and the y-axis at the moment.

14. A particle of charge q and mass m is projected from the origin with velocity v  v 0 i in a non-uniform magnetic

field B  – B0 xk . Here v0 and B0 are positive constants of proper dimensions. Find the maximum positive x-
coordinate of the particle during its motion.

15. An electron moves through a uniform magnetic field given by B  Bx i  (3Bx )j . At a particular instant, the

electron has the velocity v  (2.0i  4.0j) m/s and magnetic force acting on it is (6.4 × 10 –19 N) k . Find Bx.

16. A neutral particle is at rest in a uniform magnetic field B . At time t = 0 it decays into two charged particles.
Each of mass m:
(a) If the charge of one of the particles is +q, what is the charge of the other?

(b) The two particles moves off in separate paths, both of them lie in the plane perpendicular to B . At a later
time the particles collide. Express the time from decay until collision in terms of m, B and q.
