Q.201 Medium Magnetism
The magnetic field between the poles of a permanent magnet is approximately:
A Zero
B Uniform
C Strongly non-uniform near the poles
D Inversely proportional to distance
Correct Answer:  B. Uniform
EXPLANATION

Between the parallel poles of a strong permanent magnet (in the central region), the magnetic field is approximately uniform. However, it becomes non-uniform near the pole edges.

Q.202 Medium Magnetism
A particle with charge q and mass m undergoes circular motion in a magnetic field. Its cyclotron frequency is independent of:
A The particle's velocity
B The magnetic field strength
C The particle's charge
D The particle's mass
Correct Answer:  A. The particle's velocity
EXPLANATION

Cyclotron frequency f = qB/(2πm). It depends on q, B, and m, but not on velocity v

Test
Q.203 Medium Magnetism
Two coils have self-inductances L₁ and L₂ with coupling coefficient k. Their mutual inductance is:
A M = k√(L₁L₂)
B M = k(L₁ + L₂)
C M = kL₁L₂
D M = k(L₁L₂)²
Correct Answer:  A. M = k√(L₁L₂)
EXPLANATION

Mutual inductance M = k√(L₁L₂), where 0 ≤ k ≤ 1 is the coupling coefficient

Test
Q.204 Medium Magnetism
The energy density of a magnetic field is given by:
A B²/(2μ₀)
B B²μ₀/2
C μ₀B²
D B/(2μ₀)
Correct Answer:  A. B²/(2μ₀)
EXPLANATION

Magnetic energy density u = B²/(2μ₀), similar to electric field energy density

Test
Q.205 Medium Magnetism
A rectangular loop is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field. The loop will experience:
A A net force and a torque
B Only torque, no net force
C Only force, no torque
D Neither force nor torque
Correct Answer:  A. A net force and a torque
EXPLANATION

Non-uniform field causes net force on the loop due to unequal forces on different sides, plus torque due to magnetic moment

Test
Q.206 Medium Magnetism
In a Hall effect experiment with a rectangular conductor in a magnetic field, the Hall voltage is proportional to:
A Magnetic field strength and current, inversely proportional to charge carrier concentration
B Only the magnetic field strength
C Only the current
D The resistance of the conductor
Correct Answer:  A. Magnetic field strength and current, inversely proportional to charge carrier concentration
EXPLANATION

Hall voltage V_H = (1/ne) × (IB/t), proportional to B and I, inversely proportional to carrier concentration n

Test
Q.207 Medium Magnetism
A charged particle moves in a helical path in a uniform magnetic field. This happens when the particle's velocity has:
A Components both parallel and perpendicular to B
B Only parallel component to B
C Only perpendicular component to B
D No relationship with B direction
Correct Answer:  A. Components both parallel and perpendicular to B
EXPLANATION

Perpendicular component causes circular motion, parallel component causes linear motion, resulting in helical path

Test
Q.208 Medium Magnetism
The self-inductance of a solenoid depends on:
A Number of turns, cross-sectional area, and length
B Current flowing through it
C Resistance of the wire
D External magnetic field
Correct Answer:  A. Number of turns, cross-sectional area, and length
EXPLANATION

L = μ₀n²AL, where n = N/l. Self-inductance depends on geometry and material properties, not on current.

Test
Q.209 Medium Magnetism
The energy stored in a magnetic field of an inductor carrying current I is:
A U = ½LI²
B U = LI²
C U = L²I
D U = I²/L
Correct Answer:  A. U = ½LI²
EXPLANATION

Energy stored in inductor: U = ½LI², derived from dW = LI dI integrated from 0 to I

Test
Q.210 Medium Magnetism
An inductor with inductance L and a resistor with resistance R are connected in series with a DC source. The time constant is:
A τ = L/R
B τ = R/L
C τ = LR
D τ = √(L/R)
Correct Answer:  A. τ = L/R
EXPLANATION

For LR circuit, time constant τ = L/R. Current rises as I = (V/R)(1 - e^(-t/τ))
