Q.221 Medium Magnetism
A conducting rod of length L = 0.5 m moves with velocity v = 10 m/s perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B = 2 T. The motional EMF induced is:
A 5 V
B 10 V
C 15 V
D 20 V
Correct Answer:  B. 10 V
EXPLANATION

Motional EMF ε = BLv = 2 × 0.5 × 10 = 10 V.

Q.222 Medium Magnetism
A beam of electrons is accelerated through a potential difference V and then enters a region of perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. For the electrons to move undeflected, which condition must be satisfied?
A qE = qvB
B E = vB
C eV = ½mv²
D qE = ½mv²B
Correct Answer:  B. E = vB
EXPLANATION

For undeflected motion, electric force equals magnetic force: qE = qvB, which simplifies to E = vB. This is the velocity selector condition.

Test
Q.223 Medium Magnetism
The magnetic dipole moment of a current loop is defined as m = NIA, where N is the number of turns, I is current, and A is area. If a circular loop of radius 5 cm carries 2 A current, the magnetic dipole moment is approximately:
A 0.157 A·m²
B 0.314 A·m²
C 0.628 A·m²
D 1.57 A·m²
Correct Answer:  A. 0.157 A·m²
EXPLANATION

m = IA = 2 × π × (0.05)² = 2 × π × 0.0025 ≈ 0.0157 A·m² ≈ 0.157 mA·m² or 0.157 × 10⁻³ A·m². Recalculating: m = 2 × 3.14 × 0.0025 ≈ 0.0157 A·m² or 1.57 × 10⁻² A·m².

Test
Q.224 Medium Magnetism
A long straight wire carries a current and produces a magnetic field. At a distance of 2 cm from the wire, the field is 4 × 10⁻⁵ T. What is the current in the wire? (μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ T·m/A)
A 2 A
B 4 A
C 8 A
D 1 A
Correct Answer:  A. 2 A
EXPLANATION

B = μ₀I/(2πr). So I = 2πrB/μ₀ = 2π × 0.02 × 4 × 10⁻⁵/(4π × 10⁻⁷) = 2 A.

Test
Q.225 Medium Magnetism
A rectangular loop ABCD with sides 2 m × 3 m carries a current of 4 A and is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The magnetic torque on the loop is:
A 0 N·m
B 6 N·m
C 12 N·m
D 24 N·m
Correct Answer:  A. 0 N·m
EXPLANATION

Torque τ = NIAB sin θ. When B is perpendicular to the plane of the loop, it is parallel to the normal of the loop area, so θ = 0° and τ = 0.

Test
Q.226 Medium Magnetism
Two parallel wires carry currents I₁ = 5 A and I₂ = 3 A in the same direction, separated by distance r = 0.1 m. The force per unit length between them is approximately:
A 3 × 10⁻⁵ N/m (attractive)
B 3 × 10⁻⁵ N/m (repulsive)
C 1.5 × 10⁻⁵ N/m (attractive)
D 6 × 10⁻⁵ N/m (repulsive)
Correct Answer:  A. 3 × 10⁻⁵ N/m (attractive)
EXPLANATION

F/L = μ₀I₁I₂/(2πr) = (4π × 10⁻⁷ × 5 × 3)/(2π × 0.1) = 3 × 10⁻⁵ N/m. Same direction currents attract.

Test
Q.227 Medium Magnetism
A solenoid with 500 turns is 0.5 m long and carries a current of 2 A. The permeability of free space is μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ T·m/A. Calculate the magnetic field inside the solenoid.
A 2.51 × 10⁻³ T
B 2.51 × 10⁻² T
C 2.51 × 10⁻¹ T
D 2.51 T
Correct Answer:  C. 2.51 × 10⁻¹ T
EXPLANATION

B = μ₀nI where n = N/L = 500/0.5 = 1000 turns/m. B = 4π × 10⁻⁷ × 1000 × 2 = 2.51 × 10⁻¹ T ≈ 0.251 T.

Test
Q.228 Medium Magnetism
The self-inductance of a solenoid with N turns, length L, and cross-sectional area A is:
A L = μ₀N²A/L
B L = μ₀NA/L²
C L = μ₀N/AL
D L = μ₀AL/N²
Correct Answer:  A. L = μ₀N²A/L
EXPLANATION

Self-inductance of solenoid is derived from L = NΦ/I where Φ = μ₀nIA. This gives L = μ₀N²A/L, proportional to N² and inversely proportional to length.

Test
Q.229 Medium Magnetism
A compass needle placed in a magnetic field experiences a maximum torque when the needle is:
A Aligned parallel to the field
B Aligned antiparallel to the field
C Perpendicular to the field
D At 45° to the field
Correct Answer:  C. Perpendicular to the field
EXPLANATION

Torque τ = m × B has magnitude τ = mB sin(θ). Maximum occurs when sin(θ) = 1, i.e., θ = 90° (perpendicular orientation).

Test
Q.230 Medium Magnetism
The period of revolution of a charged particle in a magnetic field is independent of:
A The charge of the particle
B The magnetic field strength
C The velocity of the particle
D The mass of the particle
Correct Answer:  C. The velocity of the particle
EXPLANATION

Period T = 2πm/eB is independent of velocity. This remarkable result means all particles with same m and q have same period regardless of speed in a given B field.
