Charge of an electron q = –1.60 × 10–19 C ⇒ |q| = 1 60 x 10-19 C
Magnitude of magnetic field B = 0.500 T
Mass of the electron, m = 9.11 × 10–31 kg
Radius of the orbit, r = 2.50 mm = 2.50 × 10–3 m
Speed of the electron, V = \(q \frac{\mathrm{rB}}{\mathrm{m}}\)
\( v = 1.60 \times 10^{-19} \times\frac{ 2.50 \times 10^{-3} \times 0.500}{9.11 \times 10^{-31}}\)
\(v=2.195 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{s} ^{-1}\)
2.
For a charged particle moving on a magnetic field, \(\vec { F } \)= q(\(\vec { v } \)x\(\vec { B } \))
The work done by the magnetic field is
\(W=\int { \overset { \rightarrow }{ F } .{ d \vec r } =\int { \overset { \rightarrow }{ F } .\overset { \rightarrow }{ v } dt } } \)
\(W=q\int { \left( \overset { \rightarrow }{ v } \times \overset { \rightarrow }{ B } \right) } .\overset { \rightarrow }{ v } dt=0\)
Since \(\overset { \rightarrow }{ v } \times \overset { \rightarrow }{ B } \) is perpendicular to \(\vec { v } \) and hence \(\left( \overset { \rightarrow }{ v } \times \overset { \rightarrow }{ B } \right) .\overset { \rightarrow }{ v } =\overset { \rightarrow }{ 0 } \)
This means that Lorentz force does no work on the particle. From work-kinetic energy theorem, (Refer section 4.2.6, XI th standard Volume I)
\(\frac { dw }{ dt } =p=0\)
Since \(\overset { \rightarrow }{ F } .\overset { \rightarrow }{ v } =0\Rightarrow \overset { \rightarrow }{ F } \ and \ \overset { \rightarrow }{ v } \) are perpendicular to each other. The angle between Lorentz force and velocity of the charged particle is 90o. Thus Lorentz force changes the direction of the velocity but not the magnitude of the velocity. Hence Lorentz force does no work and also does not alter kinetic energy of the particle.
3.
The magnitude of deflecting torque (the torque which makes the object rotate) acting on the bar magnet will tend to align the bar magnet parallel to the direction of the uniform magnetic field \(\overset { \rightarrow }{ B } \)
\(\left| \overset { \rightarrow }{ r } \right| ={ p }_{ m }Bsin\theta \)
The magnitude of restoring torque acting on the bar magnet can be written as
\(\left| \overset { \rightarrow }{ r } \right| =I\frac { { d }^{ 2 }\theta }{ { dt }^{ 2 } } \)
Under equilibrium conditions, both magnitudes of deflecting torque and restoring torque will be equal but act in the opposite directions, which means
\(\frac { { d }^{ 2 }\theta }{ { dt }^{ 2 } } =-{ p }_{ m }Bsin\theta \)
4.
Since the resistors are connected in series, the effective resistance in the circuit
= 4 Ω + 6 Ω = 10 Ω

V1= IR1 = 2.4A x 4Ω = 9.6V
Voltage across 6 Ω resistor
V2 = IR2 = 2.4A x 6Ω = 14.4V

11.
Electric field, E = 6.0 x 106 N C-1 and magnetic field, B = 0.83 T.
Then.
\(v=\frac { E }{ B } =\frac { { 6.0\times 10 }^{ 6 } }{ 0.83 } =7.23\times { 10 }^{ 6 }{ ms }^{ -1 }\)
When an electron goes with this velocity, it shows null deflection. Since the accelerating potential is 200 V, the electron acquires kinetic energy because of this accelerating potential. Hence,
\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } mv^{ 2 }=eV \)
\(v=\sqrt { \frac { 2eV }{ m } }\)
Since the mass of the electron, m = 9.1 x 10−31kg and charge of an electron, \(\left| q \right| =e=1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 }C.\) The velocity acquired by the electron due to accelerating potential 200 V is
\({ v }_{ 200 }=\sqrt { \frac { 2\left( 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 } \right) \left( 200 \right) }{ \left( 9.1\times { 10 }^{ -31 } \right) } } =8.39\times { 10 }^{ 6 }m{ s }^{ -1 }\)
Since the speed v200 > v, the electron is deflected towards direction of Lorentz force. So, in order to have null deflection, the potential, we have to supply is
\(v=\frac { { 1mv }^{ 2 } }{ 2\quad e } =\frac { \left( 9.1\times { 10 }^{ -31 } \right) \times \left( 7.23\times { 10 }^{ 6 } \right) ^{ 2 } }{ 2\times \left( 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 } \right) } \)
V = 148.65 V
12.
Velocity of the particle is \(\vec { v } =v\hat { j } \)
(a) Magnetic field is along positive y-direction, this implies \(\vec B=B\hat { j } \)
From Lorentz force, \( {\vec F } _{ m }=q(v\hat { j } \times B\hat { j } )=\vec 0\)
So, no force acts on the particle when it moves along the direction of magnetic field.
(b) Since the magnetic field points in positive z - direction, this implies, \(\vec { B } =B\hat { k } \)
From Lorentz force, \( {\vec F } _{ m }=q(v\hat { j } \times B\hat { k } )=qvB\vec i \)
Therefore, the magnitude of the Lorentz force is qvB and direction is along positive x - direction.
(c) Magnetic field is in zy - plane and making an angle θ with the velocity of the particle, which implies \( {\vec B } =Bcos\theta \hat { j } +Bsin\theta \hat { k } \)
From Lorentz force,
\({ \vec F }_{ m }=q(v\hat { j } )\times (Bcos\theta \hat { j } +Bsin\theta \hat k)\)
\(=qvBsin\theta \hat { i } \)

\(50=\frac{1}{2 \times \sqrt{20 C}} \)
\(\therefore(50)^2=\frac{1}{4 \times 20 C} \)

Principle : When a current carrying loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field it experiences a torque.
Construction : A moving coil galvanometer consists of a rectangular coil PQRS of insulated thin copper wire. The coil contains a large number of turns wound over a light metallic frame. A cylindrical soft-iron core is placed symmetrically inside the coil as shown in Figure. The rectangular coil is suspended freely between two pole pieces of a horse-shoe magnet.

The upper end of the rectangular coil is attached to one end of fine strip of phosphor bronze and the lower end of the coil is connected to a hair spring which is also made up of phosphor bronze. In a fine suspension strip, a small plane mirror is attached in order to measure the deflection of the coil with the help of lamp and scale arrangement. The other end of the mirror is connected to a torsion head. In order to pass electric current through the galvanometer, the suspension strip and the spring S are connected to terminals.
Working : Consider a single turn of the rectangular coil PQRS whose length be l and breadth b. PQ = RS = l and QR = SP = b.
Let I be the electric current flowing through the rectangular coil PQRS as shown in Figure. The horse-shoe magnet has hemi - spherical magnetic poles which produces a radial magnetic field. Due to this radial field, the sides QR and SP are always parallel to the magnetic field B and experience no force. The sides PQ and RS are always parallel to the magnetic field and experience force in opposite directions. Due to this, torque is produced.
For single turn, the deflection torque is,
て = bF = bBIl = (lb)BI
て = ABI
since, area of the coil A = lb
For coil with N turns, we get
て = NABI ........(1)
Due to this deflecting torque, the coil gets twisted and restoring torque (also known as restoring couple) is developed. Hence the moment of restoring couple is proportional to the amount of twist θ. Thus
て = Kθ ............(2)
where K is the restoring couple per unit twist or torsional constant of the spring.
At equilibrium, the deflection couple is equal to the restoring couple. Therefore by comparing equations (1) and (2), we get,
NABI = Kθ
⇒ I =\(\frac { K }{ NAB } \) θ ...........(3)
(or) I = Gθ
where G = \(\frac { K }{ NAB } \) is called galvanometer constant or current reduction factor of the galvanometer.
Since, suspended moving coil galvanometer is very sensitive, we have to handle with high care while doing experiments. Most of the galvanometer we use are pointer type moving coil galvanometer.

In a right angle triangle OPN let the angle \(\angle\)OPN = \(\theta \)1 which implies, \({ \varphi }_{ 1 }=\frac { \pi }{ 2 } -{ \theta }_{ 1 }\) and also in a right angle triangle OPM,
\(\angle\)OPN = \(\theta \)2 which implies, \({ \varphi }_{ 2 }=\frac { \pi }{ 2 } +{ \theta }_{ 2 }\)
Hence,
\(\overset { \rightarrow }{ B } =\frac { { \mu }_{ ° }I }{ 4\pi a } \left( cos\left( \frac { \pi }{ 2 } -{ \theta }_{ 1 } \right) -cos\left( \frac { \pi }{ 2 } +{ \theta }_{ 2 } \right) \right) \hat { n } \)
\(=\frac { { \mu }_{ ° }I }{ 4\pi a } (si{ n }_{ 1 }+{ sin }_{ 2 })\hat { n } \)
