7.
Magnetic field B = 0.2 T
Current flowing through the coil I = 3A
Cross sectional area of a circular coil A = 0.1 cm2
∴ A = 0.1 x 10-4 m2
(a) Total torque on the coil:
\(\tau=\text { IBA } \cos \theta\)
Here, the plane of the loop is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field
\(\therefore \theta=90^{\circ} \)
\(\therefore \tau=\text { IBA } \cos 90^{\circ} \) (∵ cos90o = 0)
= 3 x 0.2 x 0.1 x 10-4 x 0
= zero
∴ Total Torque on the coil = zero
(b) Total force on the coil \(F=B q v \sin \theta \)
\(Here\ \theta=0 \)
\(\therefore F=0.2 \times \mathrm{qv} \times \sin \theta=\text { zero } \)
Total force on the coil = zero
c) Average force: F = Bqv
Charge density \(=\sigma=\frac{q}{A} \)
∴ Charge \(q =\sigma A \)
\(=10^{28} \times 0.1 \times 10^{-4} \)
\(q=10^{23} \mathrm{C} \)
Force = Bll and I = 1 m
F = 0.2 x 3 x 1 = 0.6 N
∴ Average force on each electron
\(=\frac{F}{q}=\frac{0.6}{10^{23}} \)
\(F =0.6 \times 10^{-23} \mathrm{~N} \)
8.

Since qmA = qmB = qm, we have
9 x 10-3 = 10-7 x \(\frac { { q }_{ m }^{ 2 } }{ { \left( 10\times { 10 }^{ -2 } \right) }^{ 2 } } \Rightarrow { q }_{ m }\) = 30NT-1
12.
BH = 0.15 G and BV = 0.26 G
tan I = \(\frac { 0.26 }{ 0.15 } \Rightarrow I=ta{ n }^{ -1 }(1.732)=60°\)

The particle does not gain energy.
16.
| S.No | Electric field | Magnetic field |
| (i) | Produced by a scalar source i.e., an electric charge q | Produced by a vector source i.e., current element I\(\vec { dl } \) |
| (ii) | It is directed along the position vector joining the source and the point at which the field is calculated. | it is directed perpendicular to the position vector \(\hat { r } \) and the current element I\(\vec { dl } \) |

Magnetic field \(\overset { \rightarrow }{ B } ={ 0.500\hat { i } T } \)
Velocity of the particle
\(\hat { v } \) = (1.95 x 105\(\hat { i } \) + 2.00 x 105\(\hat { k } \)) ms-1
Charge of the proton q = 1.67 x 10-19 C
Mass of the proton m = 1.67 x 10-27kg
(a) The force experienced by the proton is \(\overset { \rightarrow }{ F } \) = q(\(\overset { \rightarrow }{ v } \) x \(\overset { \rightarrow }{ B } \) )
= 160 x 10-19 x ((1.95 x 105\(\hat { i } \) + 2.00 x 105\(\hat { k } \)) x (0.500 \(\hat { i } \)))
\(\overset { \rightarrow }{ F } \)= 1.60 x 10-14 \(\hat { j } \) N
Therefore, from Newton’s second law,
\(\overset { \rightarrow }{ a } =\frac { 1 }{ m } \overset { \rightarrow }{ F } =\frac { 1 }{ 1.67\times { 10 }^{ -27 } } (1.60\times { 10 }^{ -14 })\hat j\)
\(=9.58\times { 10 }^{ 12 }\hat jm{ s }^{ -2 }\)
(b) Trajectory is helical Radius of helical path is
\(R=\frac { { mv }_{ z } }{ \left| q \right| B } =\frac { 1.67\times { 10 }^{ -27 }\times 2.00\times { 10 }^{ 5 } }{ 1.60\times { 10 }^{ -19 }\times 0.500 } \)
= 4.175 x 10-3m = 4.18mm
Pitch of the helix is the distance travelled along x-axis in a time T, which is P = vx T
But time, \(T=\frac { 2\pi }{ \omega } =\frac { 2\pi m }{ \left| q \right| B } =\frac { 2\times 3.14\times 1.67\times { 10 }^{ -27 } }{ 1.60\times 1{ 0 }^{ -19 }\times 0.500 } =13.1\times { 10 }^{ -8 }s\)
Hence, pitch of the helix is
\(p={ v }_{ x }T=(1.95\times { 10 }^{ 5 })(13.1\times { 10 }^{ -8 })=25.5\times { 10 }^{ -3 }m=25.5mm\)
The proton experiences appreciable acceleration in the magnetic field, hence the pitch of the helix is almost six times greater than the radius of the helix.

Electric field between the plates \(= \frac{σ}{ε_0}\)
Electric force on an electron \(= e\frac{σ}{ε_0}\)
Magnetic force on an electron, F = BIl
But, \(I= \frac{e}{t}\)
∵Electron moves in a straight line. So,
EF = MF
\(e\frac{σ}{ε_0}=B(\frac{e}{t})l\)
\(\therefore t = ε_0\frac{lB}{σ}\)
35.

The magnetic field at the centre of Q, due to its current \(\sqrt{2}\) I.
\(\vec { { B }_{ Q } } =\frac { { \mu }_{ 0 }\sqrt { 2 } I }{ 2R } \)
∴ \(\vec { { B }_{ net } } =\vec { B_{ p } } +\vec { B_{ Q } } \)

(v) This Lorentz force acts as centripetal force for the particle to execute circular motion. Therefore,
qvB = m\(\frac { { v }^{ 2 } }{ r } \)
The radius of the circular path is
r = \(\frac { mv }{ qB } =\frac { p }{ qB } \) ..........(1)
(vi) where p = mv is the magnitude of the linear momentum of the particle. Let T be the time taken by the particle to finish one complete circular motion, then
T = \(\frac { 2\pi r }{ v } \) .............(2)
Hence substituting (1) in (2), we get,
T = \(\frac { 2\pi m }{ qB } \) .............(3)
(vii) Equation (3) is called the cyclotron period. The reciprocal of time period is the frequency f, which is
f = \(\frac { 1 }{ T } \)
f = \(\frac { qB }{ 2\pi m } \) ...........(4)
In terms of angular frequency ω,

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.

Let YY' be an infinitely long straight conductor carry current I. In order to calculate magnetic field at a point P which is at a distance a from the wire, let us consider a small line element dl (segment AB).
According to Biot Savart law, the magnetic field at a point P due to current element Idl is,
\({ d \vec B } =\frac { { \mu }_{ 0 } }{ 4\pi } \frac { { Idl sin \theta} }{ { r }^{ 2 } }\hat n \).
To apply trigonometry, draw a perpendicular AC to the line BP as shown in Figure.
In triangle ΔABC, \(\sin \theta=\frac{\mathrm{AC}}{\mathrm{AB}}\)
∴ AC = AB sinθ
\(\text { But, } A B =d l \Rightarrow A C=d l \sin \theta\)
Let dΦ be the angle subtended between AP and BP
ie., \(\angle \mathrm{APB}=\angle \mathrm{APC}=d \phi\)
In a triangle \(\triangle \mathrm{APC}, \sin (d \phi) \simeq A C / A P\)
Since, dΦ is very small, \(\sin (d \phi) \simeq d \phi\)
But, \(\mathrm{AP} =r \Rightarrow A C=r d \phi \)
\(\therefore \mathrm{AC} =d l \sin \theta=r d \phi \)
\(\therefore d \vec{B} =\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{I}{r^2}(r d \phi) \hat{n}=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{I d \phi}{r} \hat{n}\)
Let Φ be the angle between AP and OP
\(\text {In a } \triangle \mathrm{OPA}, \cos \phi =\frac{\mathrm{OP}}{\mathrm{AP}}=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{r}} \)
\(r =\frac{a}{\cos \phi} \)
\(\text {Now, } d \vec{B} =\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{I}{a / \cos \phi} d \phi . \hat{n} \)
\(d \vec{B} =\frac{\mu_0 I}{4 \pi a} \cos \phi d \phi \hat{n}\)
The total magnetic field at P due to the conductor YY' is
\(\vec { B } = \int _{- \Phi _{ 1 } }^{ { \Phi }_{ 2} }d\vec B =\int _{ -\Phi _{ 1 } }^{ { \Phi }_{ 2 } }\frac { { \mu }_{ 0 }I }{ 4\pi a }{ cos\phi d\phi } \hat { n }\)
\(=\frac { { \mu }_{ 0 }I }{ 4\pi a }[{ sin\phi ]^{\phi_2} _{\phi_-1}} \hat { n }\)
\( \vec{B}=\frac { { \mu }_{ 0 }I }{ 4\pi a } (sin{ \Phi }_{ 1 }+sin{ \Phi }_{ 2 })\hat { n } \)
For infinitely long conductor, Φ1 = Φ2 = 90o
\(\therefore \vec{B}=\frac { { \mu }_{ 0 }I }{ 4\pi a } \times 2\hat{n}\Rightarrow\vec { B } =\frac { { \mu }_{ 0 }I }{ 2\pi a } \hat { n } \)
