Multiple choice properties of magnet magnetic field moving charges and magnetism magnetic effects of current and magnetism physics

In a region, steady and uniform electric and magnetic fields are present. These two fields are parallel to other. A charged particle is released from rest in this region. The path of the particle will be a:

  1. circle

  2. helix

  3. straight line

  4. ellipse
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

When steady and uniform electric and magnetic fields are parallel to each other and a charged particle is released from rest, the magnetic force is initially zero because the velocity is zero. Only the electric field exerts a force on the particle, accelerating it in a straight line along the direction of the electric field. As it gains velocity, the magnetic force acts perpendicular to the velocity, but since velocity remains parallel to the magnetic field, the cross product v x B remains zero, keeping the path a straight line.

The magnetic lines of force like electrical lines of force

  1. Are closed

  2. Are not closed

  3. Are open

  4. Are not open
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Magnetic lines of force are always closed loops, unlike electric lines of force which start from positive charges and end on negative charges (or infinity). Therefore, magnetic lines are not open.

Assertion: Basic difference between electric lines and magnetic lines of force is that former are discontinuous and the latter are continuous
Reason: No electric lines of forces exit inside charged conductor but magnetic lines do exist inside magnet

  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

  2. Both A and R are true and R is not correct explanation of A

  3. A is true, but R is false

  4. A is false, but R is true

A Correct answer
Explanation

Electric field lines are discontinuous because they terminate on charges. Magnetic field lines are continuous because they form closed loops and have no magnetic monopoles. The reason correctly explains the behavior inside conductors and magnets.

If a charged particle goes unaccelerated in a region containing electric and magnetic fields:

  1. ${\vec E}$ must be parallel to ${\vec B}$
  2. ${\vec V}$ must be perpendicular to Electric field
  3. ${\vec V}$ must be parallel to ${\vec B}$
  4. $E$ must be equal to $vB$.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

velocity must be perpendicular to B and d)E must be equal to vB. Explanation: Lorenz force is computed as F = q (E + v × B)

So, if particle is accelerated we must have qE = qvB and v × B = −vB First is possible when d is true and second is possible when d is true

An AC rms voltage of 2$\mathrm { V }$ having a frequeney of 50$\mathrm { KH }$ is applied to a condenser of capacity of 10 $\mu F$ The maximum value of the magnetic field between the plates of the condenser if the radius of plate is 10$\mathrm { cm }$ is

  1. 0.4$\pi \mu T$
  2. 4$\pi \mu T$
  3. 4$\mu T$
  4. 40$\pi \mu T$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The displacement current I_d = epsilon_0 * d(Phi_E)/dt. For a capacitor, I_d = I_c = V / X_c = V / (1 / (omega * C)) = V * omega * C. The magnetic field B at radius r is given by B * 2 * pi * r = mu_0 * I_d * (r^2 / R^2). Substituting values: omega = 2 * pi * 50 * 10^3, C = 10 * 10^-6, V = 2. I_d = 2 * 2 * pi * 50 * 10^3 * 10 * 10^-5 = 2 * pi Amps. At r = R = 0.1m, B = (mu_0 * I_d) / (2 * pi * R) = (4 * pi * 10^-7 * 2 * pi) / (2 * pi * 0.1) = 4 * pi * 10^-6 T = 4 * pi microT.

The magnetic fields of atoms in a material are grouped together and aligned to form _________.

  1. Strong magnetic fields

  2. An area of magnetic field

  3. A region called magnetic domain

  4. A bar magnet
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A magnetic domain is a region within a magnetic material in which the magnetization is in a uniform direction. This means that the individual magnetic moments of the atoms are aligned with one another and they point in the same direction.

If we go inside a mine and drop a $104 lb$  iron ball and $1$ lb aluminum ball from the top of a high platform, neglecting air resistance.

  1. Both will reach the floor at the same time
  2. $1$ lb weight will reach the floor first
  3. $10$ lb weight will reach the floor first

  4. It is not possible to indicate which of the two will reach the floor first without further data
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
In real life the one having less volume and more weight will reach first

but in ideal situation where viscosity of air is neglected both will hit ground at same time irrespective of their masses if dropped from the same height 

this is because the acceleration produced due to gravity does not depend on the body.
