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 $\mu_{0}$ times o
total current enclosed by the path, $\oint \vec{B} \cdot \overrightarrow{d l}=\mu_{0} I$
where,
$B=$ magnetic field
$d l=$ infinitesimal segment of the path
$\mu_{0}=$ 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 $\mu_{0}$ times the total current passing through the surface enclosed by the loop.
Alternatively : $\quad \oint \vec{B} \cdot \overrightarrow{d l}=\mu_{0} I$
(a)
(b)
Let the current flowing through each turn of the toroid be $I$. The total number of turns equals $n$. $(2 \pi r)$ where, $n$ is the number of turns per unit length.
Applying Ampere’s circuital law, for the Amperian loop, for interior points.
$$ \begin{array}{rlrl} & & \oint \vec{B} \cdot \overrightarrow{d l} & =\mu_{0}(n \cdot 2 \pi r l) \ & B \times 2 \pi r & =\mu_{0} n 2 \pi r I \end{array} $$
(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 $m=I A$
The magnetic moments of all loops are aligned along the same direction. Hence, net magnetic moment equals to NIA.
Ans. (i) Ampere’s circuital law deters that the cloned-losp intigral of the
the current passing through the loop.
$$ \text { Mathematically, } \oint \vec{B} \cdot \vec{d}=\mu_{0} I $$
Total incoming current $=$ Total out going lurrent
$\therefore I_{\text {rut }}=0$
