moving-charges-and-magnetism Question 38

Question: Q. 1. (i) State Ampere’s circuital law. Consider a long straight wire of a circular cross-section (radius a ) carrying a steady current I.

(ii) The current I is uniformly distributed across this cross-section. Using Ampere’s circuital law, find the magnetic field in the region r<a and r>a.

Solution:

Ans. (i) Ampere’s circuital law states that the line integral

of magnetic field around a closed path is μ0 times o

total current enclosed by the path, Bdl=μ0I

where,

B= magnetic field

dl= infinitesimal segment of the path

μ0= permeability of free space.

I= enclosed electric current by the path

Magnefic field at a point will not depend on the

shape of Amperian loop and will remain same at every point on the loop.

AI] Q. 2. (i) State Ampere’s circuital law. Use this law to obtain the expression for the magnetic field inside an air cored toroid of average radius , having ’ n ’ turns per unit length and carrying a steady current I.

(ii) An observer to the left of a solenoid of N turns each of cross section area ’ A ’ observes that a steady current I in it flows in the clockwise direction. Depict the magnetic field lines due to the solenoid specifying its polarity and show that it acts as a bar magnet of magnetic moment m= NIA.

Ans.(i) Line integral of magnetic field over a closed loop is equal to the μ0 times the total current passing through the surface enclosed by the loop.

Alternatively : Bdl=μ0I

(a)

(b)

Let the current flowing through each turn of the toroid be I. The total number of turns equals n. (2πr) where, n is the number of turns per unit length.

Applying Ampere’s circuital law, for the Amperian loop, for interior points.

Bdl=μ0(n2πrl) B×2πr=μ0n2πrI

(ii)

The solenoid contains N loops, each carrying a current I. Therefore, each loop acts as a magnetic dipole. The magnetic moment for a current I, flowing in loop of area (vector) A is given by m=IA

The magnetic moments of all loops are aligned along the same direction. Hence, net magnetic moment equals to NIA.
