  1. A bar magnet has a magnetic moment of 1.6 Am^2. The magnetic field at a point 20 cm from the centre of the magnet on its axial line is 4 x 10^-4 T. Calculate the length of the magnet.

Solution: Using the formula for the magnetic field at a point on the axial line of a bar magnet:

B=μ04π2md3 Where:

  • B is the magnetic field (4 x 10^-4 T)
  • μ0 is the vacuum permeability (4π x 10^-7 T-m/A)
  • m is the magnetic moment (1.6 Am^2)
  • d is the distance from the centre of the magnet to the point (20 cm or 0.2 m)

Substituting the given values, we get:

4×104T=4π×107Tm/A×2×1.6Am2(0.2m)3

Solving for d, we get:

d=0.4m

Therefore, the length of the magnet is 0.4 m.

  1. A solenoid 20 cm long and 5 cm in diameter has 500 turns. Calculate the magnetic field inside the solenoid.

Solution: Using the formula for the magnetic field inside a solenoid:

B=μ0nI Where:

  • B is the magnetic field
  • μ0 is the vacuum permeability (4π x 10^-7 T-m/A)
  • n is the number of turns per unit length
  • I is the current flowing through the solenoid

First, we need to calculate the number of turns per unit length (n):

n=500 turns0.20m

n=2500 turns/m

Now, we can calculate the magnetic field:

B=4π×107Tm/A×2500 turns/m×I

Assuming a current I of 1 A, we get:

B=4π×107Tm/A×2500 turns/m×1A

B=3.14×104T

Therefore, the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 3.14 x 10^-4 T.

  1. A current-carrying wire is bent into a circular loop of radius 10 cm. The current flowing through the wire is 5 A. Calculate the magnetic field at the centre of the loop.

Solution: Using the formula for the magnetic field at the centre of a circular loop:

B=μ04π2πIR

Where:

  • B is the magnetic field
  • μ0 is the vacuum permeability (4π x 10^-7 T-m/A)
  • I is the current flowing through the loop (5 A)
  • R is the radius of the loop (10 cm or 0.1 m)

Substituting the given values, we get:

B=4π×107Tm/A4π2π×5A0.1m

B=2×104T

Therefore, the magnetic field at the centre of the loop is 2 x 10^-4 T.

  1. A proton moving with a speed of 10^7 m/s enters a magnetic field of 0.1 T perpendicular to its velocity. Calculate the radius of the circular path followed by the proton.

Solution: Using the formula for the radius of the circular path followed by a charged particle in a magnetic field:

r=mvqB

Where:

  • r is the radius of the circular path
  • m is the mass of the particle (proton’s mass = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg)
  • v is the velocity of the particle (10^7 m/s)
  • q is the charge of the particle (proton’s charge = 1.6 x 10^-19 C)
  • B is the magnetic field strength (0.1 T)

Substituting the given values, we get:

r=(1.67×1027kg)(107m/s)(1.6×1019C)(0.1T)

r=1.04×102m

Therefore, the radius of the circular path followed by the proton is 1.04 x 10^-2 m.

  1. An electron moving with a speed of 2 x 10^7 m/s enters a magnetic field of 0.5 T perpendicular to its velocity. Calculate the radius of the circular path followed by the electron.

Solution: Following the same formula as before:

r=mvqB

But in this case, we’ll use the electron’s mass (9.11 x 10^-31 kg) and charge (-1.6 x 10^-19 C).

r=(9.11×1031kg)(2×107m/s)(1.6×1019C)(0.5T)

r=2.82×103m

Therefore, the radius of the circular path followed by the electron is 2.82 x 10^-3 m.

  1. A bar magnet has a magnetic moment of 1 Am^2. The magnetic field at a point 10 cm from the centre of the magnet on its axial line is 2 x 10^-4 T. Calculate the length of the magnet.

Solution: Using the same formula as before, but with the given values:

B=μ04π2md3

2×104T=4π×107Tm/A×2×1Am2(0.1m)3

  1. A solenoid 10 cm long and 2.5 cm in diameter has 100 turns. Calculate the magnetic field inside the solenoid.

Solution: Again, using the formula for the magnetic field inside a solenoid:

n=100 turns0.10m

n=1000 turns/m

Now, we can calculate the magnetic field:

Assuming a current I of 1 A:

B=4π×107Tm/A×1000 turns/m×1A

B=1.26×104T

Therefore, the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 1.26 x 10^-4 T.
