Two long parallel wires are at a distance $$2d$$ apart. They carry steady equal currents flowing out of the plane of the paper as shown. The variation of the magnetic field $$B$$ along the line $$XX'$$ is given by
The magnetic field varies inversely with the distance for a long conductor. That is, $$B \propto \frac{1}{d}.$$ According to the magnitude and direction shown graph (A) is the correct one.

A uniform magnetic field acts right angles to the direction of motion of electrons. As a result, the electron moves in a circular path of radius $$2\,cm.$$ If the speed of electrons is doubled, then the radius of the circular path will be
The force $$F$$ on the charged particle due to external magnetic field provides the required centripetal force $$\left( { = \frac{{m{v^2}}}{r}} \right)$$ necessary for motion along the circular path of radius $$r.$$
So, $$qvB = \frac{{m{v^2}}}{r}\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,r = \frac{{mv}}{{qB}}$$
$$\therefore r \propto v\,\,\left[ {\frac{m}{{qB}} = {\text{constant}}} \right]$$
As $$v$$ is doubled, the radius also becomes double.
Hence, radius $$ = 2 \times 2 = 4\,cm.$$

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 :
A
$$\overrightarrow B = - \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}\frac{I}{R}\left( {\mu \hat i \times 2\hat k} \right)$$

$$\overrightarrow B = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}\frac{I}{R}\left( {\pi \hat i + 2\hat k} \right)$$

$$\overrightarrow B = - \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}\frac{I}{R}\left( {\pi \hat i + 2\hat k} \right)$$

A long straight wire of radius $$a$$ carries a steady current $$i.$$ The current is uniformly distributed across its cross section. The ratio of the magnetic field at $$\frac{a}{2}$$ and $$2a$$ is
Here, current is uniformly distributed across the cross-section of the wire, therefore, current enclosed in the amperean path formed at a distance $${r_1}\left( { = \frac{a}{2}} \right) = \left( {\frac{{\pi r_1^2}}{{\pi {a^2}}}} \right) \times I,$$ where $$I$$ is total current
∴ Magnetic field at $${P_1}$$ is
$$\eqalign{
& {B_1} = \frac{{{\mu _0} \times {\text{current enclosed}}}}{{{\text{Path}}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {B_1} = \frac{{{\mu _0} \times \left( {\frac{{\pi r_1^2}}{{\pi {a^2}}}} \right) \times I}}{{2\pi {r_1}}} = \frac{{{\mu _0} \times I{r_1}}}{{2\pi {a^2}}} \cr} $$
Now, magnetic field at point $${P_2},$$
$${B_2} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{2\pi }}.\frac{I}{{\left( {2a} \right)}} = \frac{{{\mu _0}I}}{{4\pi {a^2}}}.$$
∴ Required ratio = $$\frac{{{B_1}}}{{{B_2}}} = \frac{{{\mu _0}I{r_1}}}{{2\pi {a^2}}} \times \frac{{4\pi a}}{{{\mu _0}I}}$$
$$ = \frac{{2{r_1}}}{a} = \frac{{2 \times \frac{a}{2}}}{a} = 1.$$

A particle of mass $$m$$ and charge $$q$$ enters a region of magnetic field (as shown) with speed $$v.$$ There is a region in which the magnetic field is absent, as shown. The particle after entering the region collides elastically with a rigid wall. Time after which the velocity of particle becomes antiparallel to its initial velocity is
$$\eqalign{
& r = \frac{{mv}}{{qB}} \cr
& \sin \theta = \frac{x}{r} = \frac{{\frac{{mv}}{{\sqrt 2 qB}}}}{{\frac{{mv}}{{qB}}}} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\theta = \frac{\pi }{4} \cr} $$
Time to complete the circle $$\left( {2\pi } \right),T = \frac{{2\pi m}}{{qB}}$$
∴ time taken to traverses $$\frac{\pi }{4},t = \frac{{\pi m}}{{4qB}}$$
Time taken to travel horizontal distance
$${t_1} = \frac{{\frac{{mv}}{{\sqrt 2 qB}}}}{{\frac{v}{{\sqrt 2 }}}} = \frac{m}{{qB}}$$
Total time taken $$ = 2t + 2{t_1} = \frac{m}{{2qB}}\left( {\pi + 4} \right)$$

A galvanometer of resistance $$5\,ohms$$ gives a full scale deflection for a potential difference of $$10\,mV.$$ To convert the galvanometer into a voltmeter giving a full scale deflection for a potential difference of $$1\,V,$$ the size of the resistance that must be attached to the voltmeter is
The coil must orient so that its magnetic moment becomes parallel to the field. So that the magnetic force on the coil is zero.

A conducting ring of mass $$2\,kg$$ and radius $$0.5\,m$$ is placed ring on a smooth horizontal plane. The ring carries a current of $$i = 4\,A.$$ A horizontal magnetic field $$B = 10\,T$$ is switched on at time $$t = 0$$ as shown in fig. The initial angular acceleration of the ring will be
Due to torque of magnetic field, ring will rotate about vertical diameter. $$\tau = I\alpha \Rightarrow MB = I\alpha $$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow i\pi {r^2}B = \frac{1}{2}m{r^2}\alpha \cr
& \Rightarrow \alpha = \frac{{2iB\pi }}{m} = \frac{{2 \times 4 \times 10\pi }}{2} = 40\,\pi \,rad\,{s^{ - 2}} \cr} $$

Two equal electric currents are flowing perpendicular to each other as shown in the figure. $$AB$$ and $$CD$$ are perpendicular to each other and symmetrically placed w.r.t the currents, where do we expect the resultant magnetic field to be zero?
Applying right hand grip rule and considering $$AB,$$ the direction of magnetic field due to one current is upwards and that due to other is downwards. Both the magnetic fields cancel out each other and the resultant magnetic field is zero.
Considering $$CD$$ and applying right hand grip rule for the two currents, the direction of magnetic field is in the same direction in both the cases giving non-zero resultant.
