Moving Charges and Magnetism - Result Question 28

28. A current carrying coil is subjected to a uniform magnetic field. The coil will orient so that its plane becomes

[1988]

(a) inclined at $45^{\circ}$ to the magnetic field

(b) inclined at any arbitrary angle to the magnetic field

(c) parallel to the magnetic field

(d) perpendicular to the magnetic field

Ampere’s Circuital Law29. A long solenoid of $50 cm$ length having 100 turns carries a current of $2.5 A$. The magnetic field at the centre of the solenoid is : [2020] $(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} T m A^{-1})$

(a) $3.14 \times 10^{-4} T$

(b) $6.28 \times 10^{-5} T$

(c) $3.14 \times 10^{-5} T$

(d) $6.28 \times 10^{-4} T$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 28. (d)

Solution:

  1. (d) The plane of coil will orient itself so that area vector aligns itself along the magnetic field.

So, the plane will orient perpendicular to the magnetic field.
