current of 1 A flowing through it and a perpendicular magnetic field B in a horizontal
direction. What must be the magnetic of B?
3) Calculate the value of magnetic field at a distance of 2 cm from a very long
straight wire carrying a current of 5 A (Given: μ0 = 4π× 10-7 Wb/Am).
6) Two wires shown in the figure are connected in a series circuit and the same amount of
current of 10 A passes through both, but in apposite directions. Separation between the two
wires is 8 mm. The length AB is S = 22 cm. Obtain the direction and magnitude of the
magnetic field due to current in wire 2 on the section AB of wire 1. Also obtain the magnitude
and direction of the force on wire 1. [μ0 = 4π× 10-7 T.m/A]
8) Current of equal magnitude flows through two long parallel wires having separation of
1.35 cm. If the force per unit length on each of the wires in 4.76 × 10-2 N, what must be I ?
10) The magnetic field at the centre of a circular current carrying loop of radius
12.3 cm is 6.4 × 10-6 T. What will be the magnetic moment of the loop?
12) A circular coil of wire is made up of 100 turns, each of radius 8.0 cm. If a
current of 0.40 A passes through it, what be the magnetic field at the centre of the
coil?
14) A moving coil galvanometer has been fitted with a rectangular coil having 50 turns and
dimensions 5 cm × 3 cm. The radial magnetic field in which the coil is suspended is of 0.05
Wb/m2 . The torsional constant of the spring is 1.5 × 10-9 Nm/degree. Obtain the current
required to be passed through the galvanometer so as to produce a deflection of 30°
15) A solenoid of length πm and 5 cm in diameter has winding of 1000 turns and carries a
current of 5 A. Calculate the magnetic field at its centre along the axis.
16) A toroid of narrow radius of 10 cm has 1000 turns of wire. For a magnetic field of 5 ×
