Short Answer
Question 1.

Suppose a charged particle moves with a velocity v near a wire carrying an electric current. A magnetic force, therefore, acts on it. If the same particle is seen from a frame moving with velocity v in the same direction, the charge will be found at rest. Will the magnetic force become zero in this frame? Will the magnetic field become zero in this frame?


Answer:

Formula used:


The magnetic force is given by



Where F is magnetic force


q is electric charge =


v is velocity


Angle between magnetic force and velocity component


A Charge particle is moving near a conducting wire. And also a frame is moving in the same direction which the charge is moving. Seeing from the frame it is known that the charge is at rest. So velocity of the charge particles will be zero. Thus magnetic force will be zero.


When the charge is at rest the current will be zero. We don’t know either it is a positive or negative charge. Let us consider it is a negative charge. Seeing from the frame negative charge is at rest. But there is a positive charge flow. Due to this magnetic field will exists. So the magnetic field should not be zero.



Question 2.

Can a charged particle be accelerated by a magnetic field? Can its speed be increased?


Answer:

Formula used:



Where F is magnetic force


m is mass


a is acceleration


Here the force (magnetic force) which is acting on the charged particle will try to accelerate it. If the charged particle is in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field, then the particle will move in a circular path. In that circular path the direction of the charged particle will change.


Formula used: Magnetic force is given by



Where F is magnetic force


q is electric charge =


v is velocity


Angle between magnetic force and velocity component


Force is always act perpendicular to the direction of velocity of a charged particle. So it can’t change the magnitude of the velocity of the charged particle. Velocity, magnetic field and force are perpendicular to each other. So it can change the direction of the velocity of a charged particle. So our answer is Yes, a charged particle can be accelerated by a magnetic filed but its speed can’t be increase.



Question 3.

Will a current loop placed in a magnetic field always experience a zero force?


Answer:

Effect of the magnetic force on a current loop is totally based on the uniformity of the magnetic field. If the field is non uniform, then current loop will not experience a force. So magnetic force on the loop will be zero. If the field is uniform, then the force experienced on the current loop either zero or non zero.



Question 4.

The free electrons in a conducting wire are in constant thermal motion. If such a wire, carrying no current, is placed in a magnetic field, is there a magnetic force on each free electron? Is there a magnetic force on the wire?


Answer:

Formula used: The magnetic force is given by



Where F is magnetic force


I is current


L is length of the wire


B is magnetic field


If the electron is in motion definitely there will be a magnetic force on it. Electrons are present in conducting wire. But current flowing in the wire is zero. When this wire is placed in a magnetic field the electrons will come to motion but the motion will be random. So we can neglect the effect of force on each electron. So total magnetic force acting on the wire will be zero.



Question 5.

Assume that the magnetic field is uniform in a cubical region and is zero outside. Can you project a charged particle from outside into the field so that the particle describes a complete circle in the field?


Answer:

Magnetic field is uniform(assumption). If the charged particle is perpendicular to the magnetic field the particle will exhibits a circular trajectory. Let us consider that the charged particle is coming into the field from outside along the positive y-axis. And Let us take the field is in x-axis. X-axis is perpendicular to the y-axis. So magnetic field will be perpendicular to the changed particle. Then the particle will make a circular path.



Question 6.

An electron beam projected along the positive x-axis deflects along the positive y-axis. If this deflection is caused by a magnetic field, what is the direction of the field? Can we conclude that the field is parallel to the z-axis?


Answer:

If the force is acting in the y-axis then the electron beam will be deflected from positive x-axis along y-axis. The electrons motion is in positive x-axis and then current will be along negative x-axis. And the force is acting along the y-axis. According to Fleming’s left hand rule the magnetic filed will be in z-axis. So we can conclude that the field is parallel to the z-axis.



Question 7.

Is it possible for a current loop to stay without rotating in a uniform magnetic field? If yes, what should be the orientation of the loop?


Answer:

Yes

Formula used: The net torque of a loop is given by



Where τ is torque


i is current


A is area vector


B is magnetic field


θ is the angle between the area vector and magnetic field


When θ=0,



When θ=180,




If θ is zero or 180° (integral multiple of π) then torque will be zero. So coil will stop its rotation. θ=nπ represents that the magnetic field is in parallel with area vector. So the loop can stay in a uniform magnetic field without rotation.



Question 8.

The net charge in a current-carrying wire is zero. Then, why does a magnetic field exert a force on it?


Answer:

Mostly positive charge on the wire is because of protons which are containing nucleus. When the protons are not in motion the force acting on them will be zero. So charge will be zero. But there is a negative charge too. Negative charge is due to electrons.

Formula used:


Where F is magnetic force


q is electric charge =


v is velocity


B is magnetic field


is angle between magnetic field and a charge


So when the electrons are in motion the wire will carry current. Magnetic force will act on the wire. That’s why magnetic field exerts a force on the wire.



Question 9.

The torque on a current loop is zero if the angel between the positive normal and the magnetic field is either θ = 0 or θ = 180°. In which of the two orientations, the equilibrium is stable?


Answer:

Formula used: Potential energy is given by



Where m is magnetic moment


B is magnetic field


Let is take B=0.1T, m = A m �


If θ is zero, then





If θ=180 then





If energy is minimum, then system will be more stable. If energy is increase, then the system will loose it’s stability. For θ=0 the energy is minimum and the equilibrium will stable. For θ=180 the energy is maximum and equilibrium will unstable.



Question 10.

Verify that the unit’s weber and volt second are the same.


Answer:

Formula used: Magnetic force is by



Where F is magnetic force


q is electric charge =


v is velocity


B is magnetic field



One of the unit that magnetic force measured is Weber/m �.






(We know that




Thus weber and the volt second are same.




Objective I
Question 1.

A positively charged particle projected towards east is deflected towards north by a magnetic field. The field may be
A. towards west

B. towards south

C. upward

D. downward.


Answer:

The positive charge is moving towards east. So the current is in the direction of east. It is deflected towards north. So the magnetic force is acting in the north direction. Motion is in east and force is acting in north. Magnetic field is always perpendicular to the both force and velocity of a particle. According to left hand Fleming’s rule the magnetic force will be in downward direction.


Question 2.

A charged particle is whirled in a horizontal circle on a frictionless table by attaching it to a string fixed at one point. If a magnetic field is switched on in the vertical direction, the tension in the string
A. will increase

B. will decrease

C. will remain the same

D. may increase or decrease


Answer:


Force is depending upon the direction of the whirl and also charge of a particle. Which type of charge particle it is not given. And We don’t know which direction the whirl is rotating. Based on these things we can say that force(tension) may increase or decrease. The magnetic field is in vertical direction and also we don’t know it is upward or downward. According to Flemings left hand rule the force will act either inward or outward. So option D is correct.


Question 3.

Which of the following particles will experience maximum magnetic force (magnitude) when projected with the same velocity perpendicular to a magnetic field?
A. Electron

B. Proton

C. He+

D. Li++


Answer:

Here the particle is experiencing a maximum magnetic filed and projected with a same velocity. There are no variations in the both. So both magnetic field and velocity are constant over here.

Formula used: The magnetic force is given by



Where F is magnetic force


q is electric charge =


v is velocity


is angle between magnetic field and a charge


In the above equation magnetic field and velocity are constant. So force will depend on the charge. In the option given Li++ has the highest charge. After Li++, He+ has highest charge. So Li++ will experience a maximum magnetic field.


Question 4.

Which of the following particles will describe the smallest circle when projected with the same velocity perpendicular to a magnetic field?
A. Electron

B. Proton

C. He+

D. Li+


Answer:

In the options given election has a lowest charge.

Electron < Proton < He+ <Li++


Formula used: The magnetic force is given by



Where F is magnetic force


q is electric charge =


v is velocity



m is mass of the charge particle


v is velocity


r is radius of the projectile motion






Here v and B are constants and q is same for all the charge particles. r is proportional to m. If radius is small radius will become small. Electron exhibits light weight among the all other charge particles. Because of light weight it will creates a circle with a small radius when it is projected. So option A is correct.


Question 5.

Which of the following particles will have minimum frequency of revolution when projected with the same velocity perpendicular to a magnetic field?
A. Electron

B. Proton

C. He+

D. Li+


Answer:

Formula used: Time period of revolution of a particle is given by




In the above options Electron is light weight particle and Li+ has highest weight compared to other particles in the options given. Frequency f is inversely proportional to mass m. So Li+ will have minimum frequency of revolution. So option D is correct.


Question 6.

A circular loop of area 1 cm2, carrying a current of 10 A, is placed in a magnetic field of 0.1 T perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The torque on the loop due to the magnetic field is
A. zero

B. 10–4 Nm

C. 10–2 Nm

D. 1 N m


Answer:

Given a circular loop area =1cm �


Current =10A


Magnetic field strength =0.1 T


Given loop is circular. On each and every point of this circular loop there exists two forces. It will happen in case of circular loop only. The forces are equal but their magnitudes are opposite. Because of the opposite magnitudes they cancel each other. Then net force will be equal to zero. If we place any loop in magnetic field it definitely conducts current. In case of circular loop, the torque due to magnetic field on loop will be zero.


Question 7.

A beam consisting of protons and electrons moving at the same speed goes through a thin region in which there is a magnetic field perpendicular to the beam. The protons and the electrons
A. will go undeviated

B. will be deviated by the same angle and will not separate

C. will be deviated by different angels and hence separate

D. will be deviated by the same angle but will separate.


Answer:

Formula used: Magnetic force is given by



Where F is magnetic force


q is electric charge =


v is velocity


Force on the electron is


Force on a the proton is


The magnitudes of force on proton and electron are different but magnetic force acting on the both are same. The force acting on the proton is in positive in direction and the force acting on the electron is in negative direction. Even same force is acting on them but because of different directions they got deviated by different angles and then they will separate. So option C is correct.


Question 8.

A charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field. The velocity of the particle at some instant makes an acute angel with the magnetic field. The path of the particle will be
A. a straight line

B. a circle

C. a helix with uniform pitch

D. a helix with non-uniform pitch


Answer:

Given that velocity of a particle is making an acute angle with the magnetic field. Velocity of a particle is resolves into two components. Magnetic field always change the direction of the velocity. One component is perpendicular to the magnetic field that is Vsinθ and another component is parallel to the magnetic field that is Vcosθ. Vertical component of a velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field. Then force will act on the charged particle. Because of the vertical force(Vsinθ), the particle will make a circular path. Because of the two components of the velocity the particle will move in a helical path. This path will maintain the uniformity. So option C is correct.



Question 9.

A particle moves in a region having a uniform magnetic field and a parallel, uniform electric field. At some instant, the velocity of the particle is perpendicular to the field direction. The path of the particle will be
A. a straight line

B. a circle

C. a helix with uniform pitch

D. a helix with non-uniform pitch


Answer:

The region has a uniform magnetic field and an electric field.

Formula used: Lorentz’s force is given by



Where F is Lorentz’s force


q is electric charge


E is electric field strength


B is magnetic field strength


V is velocity


The electric field will accelerate the particle to move in the direction of the magnetic field. Magnetic field will always change the direction of velocity of a particle. Because of these the particle will move in a helix path with non-uniformity. So option D is correct.


Question 10.

An electric current i enters and leaves a uniform circular wire of radius a through diametrically opposite points. A charge particle q moving along the axis of the circular wire passes tough its center at speed v. The magnetic force acting on the particle when it passes through the center has a magnitude.
A.

B.

C.

D. zero


Answer:

Current is entering into the circular wire. According to right hand thumb rule the magnetic field will be in axis of the circular wire. It is given that the charge particle is moving along the axis of the wire.

Formula used: Magnetic force is given by the formula



Where F is magnetic force


q is electric charge =


v is velocity


B is magnetic filed


is angle between magnetic field and a charge


θ will be zero because the angle between the magnetic field and charge particle is 0° or 180°.




When the particle is moving along the axis of a wire the magnetic force acting on it will be zero. So option D is correct.



Objective Ii
Question 1.

If a charged particle at rest experiences no electromagnetic force,
A. the electric field must be zero.

B. the magnetic field must be zero

C. the electric field may or may not be zero

D. the magnetic field may or may not be zero


Answer:

Formula used: The magnetic force is given by



Where F is magnetic force


q is electric charge =


v is velocity


B is magnetic filed


is angle between magnetic field and charge


Here the particle is rest so velocity is zero. Then magnetic force is zero. But we don’t know whether the magnetic field is zero or not as the force exerted on a particle under the influence of magnetic field depends on the orientation of the particle with respect to the magnetic field. And the electromagnetic force on particle is also not present. Magnetic field may not be zero. So electric field must be zero. So option A and D are correct.


Question 2.

If a charged particle kept at rest experiences an electromagnetic force,
A. the electric field must not be zero

B. the magnetic field must not be zero

C. the electric field may or may not be zero

D. The magnetic field may or may not be zero.


Answer:

The electromagnetic force is acting on the charge particle.

Formula used: 1. Electric force is given by



Where F is electric force


q is electric charge


E is electric field


From the above formula we can say that electric field should not be zero. Because electric force is acting on the particle. And the particle is rest, so velocity of the charged particle is zero.


2. The magnetic force is given by



Where F is magnetic force


q is electric charge =


v is velocity


B is magnetic filed


is angle between magnetic field and charge


From the above equation we can say that magnetic fore will become zero. But we don’t know whether the magnetic filed is zero or not. We cannot make the statement about magnetic field. So magnetic field may or may not be zero. Option A and D are correct.


Question 3.

If a charged particle projected in a gravity-free room deflects,
A. there must be an electric field

B. there must be a magnetic filed

C. both fields cannot be zero.

D. both fields can be non zero.


Answer:

The particle is projected in gravity-free room. If no force is acting on the charge particle means magnetic and electric force is not acting on the particle, then the particle will not deflect. If any one the force is acting on the charged particle, then it gets deflects. And also if both the force is acting on it then also the particle will deflect. So both electric and magnetic field cannot be zero. And also they can be non zero. So options C an D are correct.


Question 4.

A charged particle moves in a gravity-free space without change in velocity. Which of the following is/are possible?
A. E = 0, B = 0

B. E = 0, B ≠ 0

C. E ≠ 0, B = 0

D. E ≠ 0, B ≠ 0


Answer:

The particle is in a gravity free space. If no force is acting on the particle, the velocity will be constant. If both the force electric and magnetic forces acting on the particle is same then both forces get canceled and force acting on the particle will be zero. And if electric force is zero and magnetic force is non zero, in this case if the magnetic field is in the direction of velocity of a particle then the magnetic force acting on it will become zero. Option A, B and D are correct.


Question 5.

A charged particle moves along a circle under the action of possible constant electric and magnetic fields. Which of the following are possible?
A. E = 0, B = 0

B. E = 0, B ≠ 0

C. E ≠ 0, B = 0

D. E ≠ 0, B ≠ 0


Answer:

charged particle is moving in a circle. If Electric force is acting on the particle, the speed of the particle will increase. Because of this the particle cannot be move in a circle. In case of magnetic field, it will only change the direction of the velocity of a particle. It can’t change speed of the charged particle. So magnetic field cannot be zero. So option b is correct.


Question 6.

A charged particle goes undeflected in a region containing electric and magnetic field. It is possible that
A.

B. is not parallel to

C. is not parallel to

D. but is not parallel to .


Answer:

Let us consider the electric field is parallel to the magnetic field. In this case the charges particle will accelerate and also it will move in same direction. Then it cannot deflect. If electric field is not parallel to magnetic field means that may be in perpendicular to each other. In this case magnetic field, electric field and velocity of a particle will be in perpendicular to each other. If both forces are equal, then force acting on the particle will be zero. Then particle will not deflect. So option A and B are correct. Option C and D are not valid conditions.


Question 7.

If a charged particle goes unaccelerated in a region containing electric and magnetic fields.
A. must be perpendicular to

B. must be perpendicular to

C. must be perpendicular to

D. E must be equal to vB.


Answer:

The charged particle must not accelerate in the region. If both the field are counter balance, then the particle won’t accelerate. If Electric force is acting along the direction of magnetic force and both are same then the particle will not effect by these fields. So particle won’t accelerate. And if the electric field is parallel to the velocity of a particle then it will definitely accelerate. So electric field must be perpendicular to the direction of the velocity. So options A and B are correct.


Question 8.

Two ions have equal masses but one is singly ionized and the other is doubly ionized. They are projected from the same place in a uniform magnetic field with the same velocity perpendicular to the field.
A. Both ions will go along circles of equal radii.

B. The circle described by the singly ionized charge will have a radius double that of the other circle.

C. The two circles do not touch each other.

D. The two circles touch each other.


Answer:

Formula used: Radius of the orbit of a particle is given by



Where r is radius of the orbit


m is mass


v is velocity


q is electric charge


B is electric field


Radius r is inversely proportional to the charge. So singly ionized charge will have a double radius than doubly ionized charge. And both the charges are projected from the same place. So they will touch each other at the beginning. So options B and D are correct.


Question 9.

An electron is moving along the positive x-axis. You want to apply a magnetic field for a short time so that the electron may reverse its direction and move parallel to the negative x-axis. This can be done by applying the magnetic field along.
A. y-axis

B. z-axis

C. y-axis only

D. z-axis only


Answer:

Electron is moving along the positive x-axis now. If the particle is moving in the direction of magnetic field, then the field does not change the direction of velocity of the electron. If we apply the magnetic field in the y-axis it can reverse the direction of velocity of the electron. And also field in z-axis also can reverse the direction of the electron. So option A and B are correct.


Question 10.

Let and denote electric and magnetic fields in a frame S. and in another frame S’ moving with respect to S at a velocity Two of the following equations are wrong. Identify them.
A.

B.

C.

D.


Answer:

Formula used:


Electric force is given by


Where F is electric force


q is electric charge =


E is electric field


Magnetic force is given by


Where F is magnetic force


q is electric charge =


v is velocity


B is magnetic force


From the above formulas and


From the dimensional analysis we can write equations as


i.


ii.


So only options A and D are correct.

Let the P be t he point of particles collision.


And at point P, both the particles will have motion in upwards


As the collision is inelastic these particles will stick together.



Distance between centers = d


Velocity of the particles before and after collision along the horizontal direction will remain the same.



At point P, velocities along the horizontal direction are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

v = velocity of the electron


B=magnetic field


θ= angle between B and v


Also,

Similarly component of velocity in the direction of magnetic field will be the parallel component given by -



The velocity has a vertical component along which it accelerates with an acceleration a and moves in a circular cross-section.
