Important Questions on Magnetic Effect of Current





As shown in the figure, a wire is bent to form a -shaped closed loop, carrying current , where the curved part is a semi-circle of radius . The loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field , which is directed into the plane of the paper. The magnetic force felt by the closed loop is


A current carrying square loop is placed near a straight infinitely long current carrying wire as shown in figure. The torque acting on the loop is

A copper rod of mass slides under gravity on two smooth parallel rails distance apart and set an angle to the horizontal. At the bottom, the rails are joined by a resistance in figure. There is a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the rails. The terminal velocity of rod is

What is the net force on the square coil?


An elliptical loop having resistance , of semi major axis , and semi minor axis is placed in a magnetic field as shown in the figure. If the loop is rotated about the -axis with angular frequency , the average power loss in the loop due to Joule heating is :

A wire carrying current is tied between points and and is in the shape of a circular arc of radius due to a uniform magnetic field (perpendicular to the plane of the paper, as shown in the figure) in the vicinity of the wire. If the wire subtends an angle at the center of the circle (of which it forms an arch) then the tension in the wire is:




The magnitude and direction of a force vector acting on a unit length of thin wire carrying a current at point , if the wire has a semicircular shape of radius as shown in the figure.




A circular coil of radius and turns has negligible resistance. As shown in the schematic figure, its two ends are connected to two wires and it is hanging by those wires with its plane being vertical. The wires are connected to a capacitor with charge through a switch. The coil is in a horizontal uniform magnetic field parallel to the plane of the coil. When the switch is closed, the capacitor gets discharged through the coil in a very short time. By the time the capacitor is discharged fully, magnitude of the angular momentum gained by the coil will be (assume that the discharge time is so short that the coil has hardly rotated during this time)



Let and be the magnitude of the force between the two wires in setup and setup , respectively.
