D Correct answer
Explanation

Answer is D.

The magnitude and direction of F depend on the velocity of the particle and on the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field B.
When a charged particle moves parallel to the magnetic field vector, the magnetic force acting on the particle is zero.
When the particles velocity vector makes any angle with the magneticfield, the magnetic force acts in a direction perpendicular to both v and B; that is, F is perpendicular to the plane formed by v and B.
The magnitude of the magnetic force is
$F=qvBsin\theta $
where $\theta $ is the smaller angle between v and B. From this expression, we see that F is zero when v is parallel or antiparallel to B or 180) and maximum when v is perpendicular to B.
In this case, as the proton moves parallel to the magnetic field, the force is zero.

The pattern of the magnetic field around a conductor due to an electric current flowing through it depends on

  1. amount of current flowing through the conductor

  2. amount of voltage supplied to the conductor

  3. size of conductor

  4. shape of the conductor
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
We know that;
$\vec B=\dfrac{\mu _0}{4\pi}\int { \dfrac { Idl\times {\vec  r  } }{ \left| { r }^{ 1 } \right| ^{ 3 } }  } $
Where, $\vec B$ is magnetic field, $\vec I$ is current.
Thus magnitude of $\vec B$ depend on I, but pattern of magnetic field depend on shape of conductor as the direction of magnetic field is obtained used Cut finger rule i.e, pointing right hand thumb in current direction, Curl fingers describes direction thus pattern.

B Correct answer
Explanation

The Biot Savart law is used for computing the resultant magnetic field B at position r generated by a steady current I.  According to it $B=\frac {\mu _0 I } {4\pi} \int \frac {I\vec{dl} \times \vec{r}} { r^3}$.
So magnetic field at a distance r and lying on the plane perpendicular ($\pi /2$)to the element of conductor is maximum .

A current of i ampere is flowing in an equilateral triangle of side a. The magnetic induction at the centroid will be?

  1. $\dfrac{\mu _i}{3\sqrt{3}\pi a}$
  2. $\dfrac{3\mu _i}{2\pi a}$
  3. $\dfrac{5\sqrt{2}\mu _i}{3\pi a}$
  4. $\dfrac{9\mu _i}{2\pi a}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
a = length of side of equilateral triangle 

r = perpendicular distance of each side from centroid $=\frac { \sqrt { 3a }  }{ 6 } $

θ = angle by each end of each side at centroid = 60

Using Biot-savart's law , magnetic field at the centroid by each side is given as 

$B=\frac { μ }{ 4π } \ast \frac { i }{ r } \ast (Sinθ+Sinθ)$

$B=\frac { μ }{ 4π } \left( \frac { i }{ \sqrt { 3 }  } \frac { a }{ 6 }  \right) (Sin60+Sin60)$

$B=\frac { μ }{ 4π } \left( \frac { 6i }{ \sqrt { 3a }  } \frac { \sqrt { 3 }  }{ 2 }  \right) $

$B=\frac { μ }{ 4π } \frac { 6i }{ a } $

total magnetic field by all three sides is given as 

$B''=3B=3\frac { μ }{ 4π } \frac { 6i }{ a } $

$B''=\frac { μ }{ 2π } \frac { 9i }{ a } $

B Correct answer
Explanation

Given $d = 14 cm=0.14 m$    

           $l = 60cm = 0.6 m$

By the question, $N \times \pi d = 28 m.$

$N \times \pi \times 0.14 = 28$

$\displaystyle \therefore N = \dfrac{28}{0.14 \times \pi} = 63.66 turns$

$\displaystyle B = \mu _o   nI  =\mu _o  \dfrac{N}{l} I = 12.57 \times 10^{-7} \times \dfrac{63.66}{0.6} \times 5$

$=6.67 \times10^{-4} T$
