Magnetics 4 Question 1

1. Two magnetic dipoles X and Y are placed at a separation d, with their axes perpendicular to each other. The dipole moment of Y is twice that of X. A

particle of charge q is passing (2M) through their mid-point P, at angle θ=45 with the horizontal line, as shown in figure. What would be the magnitude of force on the particle at that instant? ( d is much larger than the dimensions of the dipole)

Answer:

Correct Answer: 1. (b)

Solution:

  1. Let 2l1 and 2l2 be the length of dipole X and Y, respectively. For dipole X, point P lies on its axial line. So, magnetic field strength at P due to X is

BX=μ04π2Mr(r2l12)2, along OP

Here,

r=d2

Also,

dl1

|BX|=μ04π2M(d/2)(d/2)4=μ04π2M(d/2)3

Similarly, for dipole Y, point P lies on its equatorial line. So, magnetic field strength at P due to Y is

BY=μ04π2M(r2+l22)3/2,( along a line perpendicular to OP)

Here,

r=d2

Also,

dl2

|BY|=μ04π2M(d/2)3

Thus, the resultant magnetic field due to X and Y at P is

Since,

Bnet =BX+BY

|BY|=|BX|

Thus, the resultant magnetic field (Bnet  ) at P will be at 45 with the horizontal.

This means, direction of Bnet  and velocity of the charged particle is same.

Force on the charged particle moving with velocity v in the presence of magnetic field which is

B=q(v×B)=q|v|B|sinθ

where, θ is the angle between B and v

According to the above analysis, we get

θ=0F=0

Thus, magnitude of force on the particle at that instant is zero. Key Idea Magnetic dipole moment of a current carrying loop is m=IA(Am2)

where, I= current in loop and A= area of loop.

Let the given square loop has side a, then its magnetic dipole moment will be

m=Ia2

When square is converted into a circular loop of radius r,

Then, wire length will be same in both areas,

4a=2πrr=4a2π=2aπ

Hence, area of circular loop formed is, A=πr2

=π2a2π=4a2π

Magnitude of magnetic dipole moment of circular loop will be

m=IA=I4a2π

Ratio of magnetic dipole moments of both shapes is,

mm=I4a2πIa2=4πm=4mπ(Am)
