29.
A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force that is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field, the component of the velocity that is perpendicular to the magnetic field and the charge of the particle.
This force is given by \(\vec{F}=q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\) where q is the electric charge of the particle, v is the instantaneous velocity of the particle, and B is the magnetic field (in tesla).
The direction of force is determined by the rules of cross product of two vectors
Force is perpendicular to both velocity and magnetic field. Its direction is same as \(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}\) if q is positive and opposite of \(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}\) if q is negative
The force is always perpendicular to both the velocity of the particle and the magnetic field that created it. Because the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the motion, the magnetic field can do no work on an isolated charge. It can only do work indirectly, via the electric field generated by a changing magnetic field.

1.
Force on a moving charge in magnetic field is given as F = qvB sin \(\theta\)
When charge particle is moving along the direction of magnetic field, then
\(\theta\)= 0° \(\Rightarrow\) F = 0
2.
As we know that in a circular path, frequency of a charged particle is given by
\(v=\frac{q B}{2 \pi m} \text { or } \quad v \propto \frac{1}{m}\)
Since, mp > me therefore electron will move in circular path with higher frequency.
3.
Biot-Savart's law states that, the magnitude of magnetic field intensity (dB) at a point P due to current element is given by
\(d B \propto \frac{I d l \sin \theta}{r^{2}}\)
or \(d B=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \frac{I d l \sin \theta}{r^{2}}\)
Thus, in vector notation,
\(d B=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \frac{I d 1 \times \mathbf{r}}{r^{3}}\)

\(=I\pi \left( \frac { L }{ 2\pi } \right) =I{ L }^{ 2 }/4\pi \)
6.
Magnetic dipole moment of a current loop = niA where n = no. of turns in a current loop; i = current through the loop and A = area of each turn of the loop. Magnetic dipole moment is a vector quantity. Its direction is perpendicular to the plane of loop directed outwards for anticlockwise current in loop and is directed inwards for clockwise current in loop.
7.
\(\overset { \rightarrow }{ F } =q\left( \overset { \rightarrow }{ v } \times \overset { \rightarrow }{ B } \right) \)
\(\\ or \ \left| \overset { \rightarrow }{ F } \right| =q\left| \overset { \rightarrow }{ v } \times \overset { \rightarrow }{ B } \right| =qvBsin\theta \)
(i) F will be maximum, when \(sin\theta =1 \ or \ \theta ={ 90 }^{ o }\) , i.e., the charged particle is moving perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field.
(ii) F will be minimum, when \(sin\theta =0 \ or \ \theta ={ 0 }^{ o } \ or \ { 180 }^{ o }\) i.e., the charged particle is moving parallel to the direction of magnetic field.

18.
The oscillator frequency should be same as proton’s cyclotron frequency.
Using Eqs. we have
B = 2π m ν / q = 6.3 x 1.67 x 10–27 x 107 / (1.6 x 10–19) = 0.66 T
Final velocity of protons is
v = r x 2π ν = 0.6 m x 6.3 x 107 = 3.78 x107 m/s.
E = ½ mv 2 = 1.67 x10–27 x 14.3 x 1014 / (2 x 1.6 x 10–13) = 7 MeV
19.
E = 25 keV = 25 x 1.6 x 10-16J, B = 0.2 millitesla = 0.2 x 10-3 T,
As we know T \(=\frac{2 \pi m}{q B}\)
\( \therefore \ T=\frac{2 \pi}{\left(\frac{q}{m}\right) B}=\frac{2\left(\frac{22}{7}\right)}{\left(1.76 \times 10^{11}\right)\left(0.2 \times 10^{-3}\right)} \)
\(=1.79 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~s} {\left[\because \frac{q}{m}=1.76 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Ckg}^{-1}\right]} \)
20.
Current in the wire, I = 35 A
Distance of a point from the wire, r = 20 cm = 0.2 m
Magnitude of the magnetic field at this point is given as:
\(B=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \frac{2 I}{r}\)
Where,
μ0 = Permeability of free space = 4π x 10–7 T m A–1
\(B=\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 2 \times 35}{4 \pi \times 0.2}\)
= 3.3 x 10-5 T
Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point 20 cm from the wire is 3.5 × 10–5 T.
21.
Here, I = 3A, r = 4 cm = 4 x 10-2 m
N = 20, M = ?
\(M=NIA=NI\pi { r }^{ 2 }\)
\(=20\times 3\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \left( 4\times { 10 }^{ -2 } \right) ^{ 2 }\)
= 0.3 Am2
22.
Here, M = 5.0 Am2 , 2l = 20 cm, l = 10 cm = 0.1 m
\(m=\frac { M }{ 2l } =\frac { 5.0 }{ 0.2 } =25 \ Am\)
23.
Here, l = 0.5 m; N = 500; B = 2.52 x 10-3 T
\(B=\frac { { \mu }_{ o }NI }{ l } or \ I=\frac { Bl }{ { \mu }_{ o }N } =\frac { \left( 2.52\times { 10 }^{ -3 } \right) \times 0.5 }{ \left( 4\pi \times { 10 }^{ -7 } \right) \times 500 }\)
\( =2.0 \ A\)
24.
\(Given \ r=0.1m,I=5A.\)
\(\\ \therefore \ d B=\frac { { \mu }_{ 0 }I }{ 2\pi r } =\frac { 4\pi \times { 10 }^{ -7 }\times 5 }{ 2\pi \times 0.1 }\)
\(={ 10 }^{ -5 }J\)
25.
(ii) We know, Lorentz force, F = Bqv sin\(\theta \)
Where \(\theta \) = angle between velocity of particle and magnetic field=900
So,Lorentz force, F = Bqv [sin 900 = 1]
When a charged particle enters in a magnetic field in a direction normal to the field, then in this condition,
Lorentz force = Centripetal force
\(Bqv=\frac { mv^{ 2 } }{ r } \Rightarrow r=\frac { mv }{ Bq } \)
26.
Here, I = 2.5 A, N = 100, l = 50 cm = 0.50 m
\(n=\frac{N}{l}=\frac{100}{0.50}=200\)
(i) B = \(\mu\)0nI = 4\(\pi\)\(\times\)10-7 \(\times\)200 \(\times\)2.5
B = 6.28 \(\times\) 10-4 T
(ii) \(B=\frac{\mu_0 n I}{2}=\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 200 \times 2.5}{2}=3.14 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\)
27.
Here, n = 2, I = 5.0 A,
B = 0.4 x 10-3 T, r = ?
Magnetic field at the centre of current loop is
\(B=\frac { { \mu }_{ o } }{ 4\pi } \frac { 2\pi nI }{ r } \ or \ r=\frac { { \mu }_{ o } }{ 4\pi } \frac { 2\pi nI }{ B } \)
\(\therefore \ r={ 10 }^{ -7 }\times 2\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times \frac { 2\times 5.0 }{ 0.4\times { 10 }^{ -3 } } \)
= 157.1 x 10-4m = 1.57 cm
28.
Charge on alpha particle is +2 e. The revolving alpha particle is equivalent to current loop, having current
\(I=\frac { charge }{ time } =\frac { 2e }{ t } =\frac { 2\times 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 }C }{ 2\quad s } \)
= 1.6 x 10-19 A
Magnetic field at the centre of the circular loop is
\(B=\frac { { \mu }_{ o } }{ 4\pi } \frac { 2\pi I }{ r } =\frac { { \mu }_{ o }I }{ 2r } \)
\(=\frac { \left( 4\pi \times { 10 }^{ -7 } \right) \times \left( 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 } \right) }{ 2\times 0.8 } \)
\(=4\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times \frac { { 10 }^{ -7 }\times 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 } }{ 2\times 0.8 } \)
= 12.57x s10-26 T
29.
(i) (a): For stationary electron, \(\vec{v}=0\)
\(\therefore\) Force on the electron is \(\vec{F}_{m}=-e(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})=0\)
(ii) (d): Force on the proton \(\vec{F}_{B}=e(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\)
Since, \(\vec{v}\) is parallel to \(\vec{B}\)
\(\therefore \quad \vec{F}_{B} \doteq 0\)
Hence proton will continue to move with velocity v along the axis of solenoid.
(iii) (b): Magnetic force on the charged particle q is
\(\vec{F}_{m}=q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) \text { or } F_{m}=q v B \sin \theta\)
where \(\theta\) is the angle between \(\vec{v} \text { and } \vec{B}\)
Out of the given cases, only in case (b) it will experience the force while in other cases it will experience no force
(iv) (a) : \(\vec{F}=q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\)
\(=q[(2 \hat{i} \times(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})]=(4 q) \hat{k}-(6 q) \hat{j}\)
(v) (c): When an electric charge is moving both electric and magnetic fields are produced, whereas a static charge produces only electric field.
