(a) 0.15 ampere–m2 (b) 0.3 ampere–m2 (c) 0.45 ampere–m2 (d) 0.6 ampere–m2

the following is true?
(a) The electron will be accelerated along the axis.
(b) The electron path will be circular about the axis.
(c) The electron will experience a force at 45° to the axis and hence execute a helical path.
(d) The electron will continue to move with uniform velocity along the axis of the solenoid.
6. A current carrying circular loop of radius R is placed in the x-y plane with centre at the origin. Half of the
loop with x > 0 is now bent so that it now lies in the y-z plane.
(a) The magnitude of magnetic moment now diminishes.
(b) The magnetic moment does not change.
(c) The magnitude of B at (0.0.z), z >> R increases.

7. A wire of length L is bent to make a triangular coil. All the sides of the triangle are of the same length. If
the triangular coil carries a current I, what is its magnetic dipole moment?
A. Zero B. IL2 C. (√3 × IL2 )/4 D. (√3 × IL2 )/36
8. Assertion (A): The work done by the magnetic field on a proton moving in a circular path in a uniform
magnetic field is zero.
Reason (R): The force on a charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the
direction of motion.
9. Assertion (A): The kinetic energy of a charged particle describing a circular path in a uniform magnetic
field does NOT remain constant with time.
Reason (R): The velocity of a charged particle moving in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field
changes with time.
10. Assertion (A): All atoms have a net magnetic moment.
Reason (R): Every electron in an atom possesses an intrinsic magnetic moment.
11. Assertion (A): In a velocity selector arrangement, with E ⊥ B, all charged particles that move
perpendicular to both E and B fields, with speeds v = E/B, go undeflected. The magnetic force on the
particles moving at speeds greater than v, is stronger than the electric force, and those moving at speeds
less than v will experience a magnetic force that is less than the electric force.
Reason (R): Electric force on the charged particles is independent of velocities, and the magnetic force is
directly proportional to the speed of the charged particle.
Short Answer Type Questions:
12. A straight wire of length 4 m carrying a current of 0.5 A can be turned into either a square or a circular
loop of 2 turns, before placing it in a magnetic field of intensity 0.1 T. Which loop do you think will require
less counter torque in order to hold it in a position such that the axis of the loop is perpendicular to the
magnetic field? Find the value of this counter-torque
