MAGNETIC FIELD
CONCEPT – I

CLARITY ACHEIVER :
1. Magnetic lines of force
A) always intersect B) are closed curves
C) are open curves D) do not pass through vacuum
Answer: B
Solution: Magnetic lines are starts at the North end of a bar magnet and moves towards the
south end of the bar magnet (out side of a magnet), and inside of the magnet they will move
from south end to North end of the magnet.
So, they are closed curves
2. Magnetic field is detected by
A) pyrometer B) hydrometer C) thermometer D) flux meter
Answer: D
Solution: When we observed some of the magnetic lines are passing through our selected area
which is a flux, then we can say that the magnetic field exists there
3. Magnetic lines of force tend to crowd at a point far away from the poles of a magnet
[True/False]
Answer: False
Solution: Magnetic times of force tend to crowd at a point near to the poles of a magnet.
4. From the following, uniform magnetic field is represented by

A) B) C) D)

Answer: D
Solution: Magnetic lines are parallel to each other and those are at equal distant and in the
same direction.
5. A current carrying conductor produces,
A) Magnetic field only B) Magnetic field and weak electric field
C) Electric field only D) Both strong electric and magnetic fields
Answer: B
Solution: Due to the motion of charge magnetic field will produce. Electric field is weak due
to the variation of electric flux when the charge is in motion
6. A stationary charged particle produces,
A) only magnetic field B) only electric field
C) both electric and magnetic fields D) none of the above
Answer: B
Solution: Charged particle not have the spin motion, When it is at rest. So it doesn’t produce

7. Identify the incorrect statement (s) about the magnetic field lines
A) These start from N-pole and terminate on the S-pole
B) These are always perpendicular to the small current element producing it
C) These lines always form closed loops
D) None of the above
Answer: A

N pole(internal).
8. The direction of magnetic field produced by a linear current is given by
A) Right hand thumb rule B) Flemings left hand rule
C) Joules law D) Ampere’s law
Answer: A
Solution: The direction of magnetic field produced by a linear current is given Right hand
thumb rule.

According to Right hand rule,
Stretch your middle finger along direction of magnetic field and force finger along the direction
of charge and the thumb indicates the direction of force acting on a charge.
So in the given situation Thumb is showing towards East means Force acting on the charge is
towards East Right hand rule is used for + ve charge hence given charge is + ve

A) parallel to the direction of magnetic field B) at an angle of 45º to the magnetic field
C) at an angle of 30º to the magnetic field D) perpendicular to the magnetic field
Answer: A
Solution: Force on moving charge F  qvB sin q
If charge moves parallel to the Magnetic field then q  0

C) A is correct and R is incorrect
D) A is incorrect and R is correct
Answer: A
Solution: Stationary charge produces only electric field moving charge produces both electric
and magnetic fields. Hence magnetic field interacts with moving charge

of the loop will be along East – West. When the loop is suspended then it will be in vertical
plane and also under the influence of horizontal component of earth magnetic field which is
along the North – South directions. Due to the flow of the current, magnetic lines of force will
develop across the loop if the plane of loop is perpendicular to the North – South direction.
Therefore the plane of the loop will point towards East – West direction
