Q.141 Easy Magnetism
Which of the following materials is diamagnetic?
A Bismuth
B Iron
C Cobalt
D Nickel
Correct Answer:  A. Bismuth
EXPLANATION

Bismuth is a diamagnetic material that gets repelled by magnetic fields. Iron, cobalt, and nickel are ferromagnetic materials.

Q.142 Easy Magnetism
A rectangular loop of wire with dimensions 5 cm × 10 cm is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 2 T perpendicular to its plane. If the loop is rotated by 90° in 0.1 s, what is the average induced EMF?
A 1 V
B 10 V
C 100 V
D 0.1 V
Correct Answer:  A. 1 V
EXPLANATION

Using Faraday's law: EMF = ΔΦ/Δt = BA/Δt = 2 × (0.05 × 0.1)/0.1 = 1 V

Test
Q.143 Easy Magnetism
A transformer has primary coil with N₁ turns and secondary coil with N₂ turns. The voltage ratio is:
A V₂/V₁ = N₂/N₁
B V₂/V₁ = N₁/N₂
C V₂/V₁ = (N₂/N₁)²
D V₂/V₁ = 1
Correct Answer:  A. V₂/V₁ = N₂/N₁
EXPLANATION

Transformer equation: V₂/V₁ = N₂/N₁ (ideal transformer with no losses)

Test
Q.144 Easy Magnetism
The magnetic moment of a current loop carrying current I with area A is:
A μ = IA
B μ = I/A
C μ = A/I
D μ = I²A
Correct Answer:  A. μ = IA
EXPLANATION

Magnetic moment of a current loop: μ = IA, where I is current and A is area of the loop

Test
Q.145 Easy Magnetism
A charged particle with charge q and mass m moves in a magnetic field. The cyclotron frequency is:
A f = qB/(2πm)
B f = 2πqB/m
C f = qB/m
D f = m/(qB)
Correct Answer:  A. f = qB/(2πm)
EXPLANATION

Cyclotron frequency: f = qB/(2πm) = ω/(2π), where ω = qB/m is the angular frequency

Test
Q.146 Easy Magnetism
Two parallel wires carrying currents I₁ and I₂ in the same direction, separated by distance d. The force per unit length between them is:
A F/L = μ₀I₁I₂/(2πd²)
B F/L = μ₀I₁I₂/(πd)
C F/L = μ₀I₁I₂/(2πd)
D F/L = 2μ₀I₁I₂/(πd)
Correct Answer:  C. F/L = μ₀I₁I₂/(2πd)
EXPLANATION

Magnetic force per unit length between parallel wires: F/L = μ₀I₁I₂/(2πd), attractive for same direction currents

Test
Q.147 Easy Magnetism
A proton moving with velocity v perpendicular to a magnetic field B follows a circular path. The radius of this path is:
A r = mv/(qB)
B r = qB/(mv)
C r = qvB/m
D r = v/(qB)
Correct Answer:  A. r = mv/(qB)
EXPLANATION

For circular motion in magnetic field: qvB = mv²/r, therefore r = mv/(qB)

Test
Q.148 Easy Magnetism
The magnetic field intensity at a distance r from a long straight current-carrying wire is:
A B = μ₀I/(4πr)
B B = μ₀I/(2πr)
C B = μ₀I/r
D B = μ₀I/(2r)
Correct Answer:  B. B = μ₀I/(2πr)
EXPLANATION

Using Ampere's circuital law for an infinite straight wire: B = μ₀I/(2πr), where μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ T·m/A

Test
Q.149 Easy Magnetism
A magnetic dipole of moment M is placed in a uniform magnetic field B. The torque experienced by the dipole when it makes an angle θ with the field is:
A τ = MB sin θ
B τ = MB cos θ
C τ = MB tan θ
D τ = MB/sin θ
Correct Answer:  A. τ = MB sin θ
EXPLANATION

Torque on a magnetic dipole: τ = M × B = MB sin θ, where θ is the angle between M and B.

Test
Q.150 Easy Magnetism
The magnetic field due to a solenoid inside and outside differs significantly. Which statement is correct?
A Field inside is uniform and strong; outside is zero
B Field inside is zero; outside is strong
C Field is equal inside and outside
D Field inside is non-uniform and weak
Correct Answer:  A. Field inside is uniform and strong; outside is zero
EXPLANATION

An ideal solenoid produces a uniform, strong magnetic field inside (B = μ₀nI) and negligible field outside. This is due to cancellation of fields from adjacent turns outside.
