Number of turns in the coil, N=100

Radius of coil, r=10 cm=0.1 m

Current flowing in the coil, I=7 A

As, B=μ0NI2r

B=4π×10-7×100×72×0.1=4×3.14×10-7×100×72×0.1

Q 3 :

A straight conductor carrying current i splits into two parts as shown in the figure. The radius of the circular loop is R. The total magnetic field at the centre P of the loop is   [2019]

  • Zero

     

  • 3μ0i32R, outward

     

  • 3μ0i32R, inward

     

  • μ0i2R, inward

     

(1)

Magnetic field due to i1=μ0i12Rθ12π (Into the plane)

Magnetic field due to i2=μ0i22Rθ22π (Out of the plane)

For parallel combination

Now, i1i2=ρl2A×Aρl1=l2l1⇒i1i2=14(2πR)34(2πR)=13

⇒i1=i23⇒i2=3i1

∴   Net magnetic field, =μ0i12R(θ12π)-μ0i22R(θ22π)

        =μ0i12R(3π2×2π)-μ0i22R(π2×2π)

         =μ02R[3i14-i24]=μ02R[3i14-3i14]=0



Q 4 :

A long wire carrying a steady current is bent into a circular loop of one turn. The magnetic field at the centre of the loop is B. It is then bent into a circular coil of n turns. The magnetic field at the centre of this coil of n turns will be               [2016]
 

  • nB

     

  • n2B

     

  • 2nB

     

  • 2n2B

Let l be the length of the wire. Magnetic field at the centre of the loop is

         B=μ0I2R  ∴  B=μ0πIl  (∵l=2πR)                   ...(i)

         B'=μ0nI2r=μ0nI2(l2πn)  or,  B'=μ0n2πIl             ...(ii)
From eqns. (i) and (ii), we get B'=n2B

A wire carrying current I has the shape as shown in adjoining figure.
Linear parts of the wire are very long and parallel to X-axis while semicircular portion of radius R is lying in Y-Z plane. Magnetic field at point O is           [2015]

  • B→=-μ04πIR(πi^+2k^)

     

  • B→=μ04πIR(πi^-2k^)

     

  • B→=μ04πIR(πi^+2k^)

     

  • B→=-μ04πIR(πi^-2k^)

Given situation is shown in the figure.

Parallel wires 1 and 3 are semi-infinite, so magnetic field at O due to them

            B→1=B→3=-μ0I4πRk^

Magnetic field at O due to semi-circular arc in YZ-plane is given by B→2=-μ0I4Ri^

Net magnetic field at point O is given by 

            B→=B→1+B→2+B→3

=-μ0I4πRk^-μ0I4Ri^-μ0I4πRk^=-μ0I4πR(πi^+2k^)
