Question
  1. Derive the expression for the torque acting on the rectangular current carrying coil of a galvanometer. Why is the magnetic field made radial?
  2. An $\alpha-$particle is accelerated through a potential difference of 10kV and moves along x-axis. It enters in a region of uniform magnetic field $B = 2 \times 10^{–3}T$ acting along y-axis. Find the radius of its path. (Take mass of $\alpha-$particle $= 6.4 \times 10^{–27}kg$).

Answer

  1.  

$\text{PQ}=\text{RS}=1$
$\text{PS}=\text{QR}=\text{b}$
Area $\text{A}=\text{lb}$
$\vec{\text{M}}\times\vec{\text{IA}}$
$\overrightarrow{\text{F}_{\text{PQ}}}=\text{IlB}\otimes$
$\overrightarrow{\text{F}_{\text{RS}}}=\text{IlB}\ominus$
$\overrightarrow{\text{F}_{\text{QR}}}=\text{IbB}\sin(90^\circ-\theta)=\text{IbB}\cos\theta\text{ up}$
$\overrightarrow{\text{F}_{\text{SP}}}=\text{IbB}\sin(90^\circ-\theta)=\text{IbB}\cos\theta\text{ down}$
Only $\overrightarrow{\text{F}_{\text{PB}}}\ \& \ \overrightarrow{\text{F}_{\text{RS}}}$ form a couple to apply torque on loop,

$\tau=\text{MB}\sin\theta$
Magnetic field is taken radial in Galvanometer coil in order to create $\theta=90^\circ$ at every orientation of coil in the magnetic field so that current varies linearly with deflection.
  1. $\text{qV}=\frac{1}{2}\text{mv}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\sqrt{\frac{2\text{qV}}{\text{m}}}$
$\because\vec{\text{v}}=\text{vi}\perp\vec{\text{B}}(=\text{Bj})$
$\therefore$ Particle deflects along circular path of radius $\text{r}=\frac{\text{mv}}{\text{qB}}=\frac{\text{m}}{\text{qB}}\sqrt{\frac{2\text{qv}}{\text{m}}}=\frac{1}{\text{B}}\sqrt{\frac{2\text{mv}}{\text{q}}}$
$\text{r}=\frac{1}{2\times10^{-3}}\sqrt{\frac{2\times6.4\times10^{-27}\times10^4}{2\times1.6\times10^{-19}}}$
$=\frac{1}{2\times10^{-3}}\times2\times10^{-2}$
$=10^1\text{m}=10\text{m}.$

A hole of radius $r_1$ is made centrally in a uniform circular disc of thickness d and radius $r_2.$ The inner surface $($a cylinder of length d and radius $r_1)$ is maintained at a temperature $\theta_1$ and the outer surface $($a cylinder of length d and radius $r_2)$ is maintained at a temperature $\theta_2(\theta_1>\theta_2).$ The thermal conductivity of the material of the disc is K. Calculate the heat flowing per unit time through the disc.

Consider a magnet surrounded by a wire with an on/off switch S (Fig). If the switch is thrown from the off position (open circuit) to the on position (closed circuit), will a current flow in the circuit? Explain.
The magnitude F of the force between two straight parallel current carrying conductors kept at a distance d apart in air is given by:
$\text{F}=\frac{\mu_0\text{I}_1\text{I}_2}{2\pi\text{d}}$
Where $I_1$ and $I_2$ are the currents flowing through the two wires.
Use this expression, and the sign convention that the:
“Force of attraction is assigned a negative sign and Force of repulsion is assigned a positive sign”.
Draw graphs showing dependence of F on:
