Question
When a proton is released from rest in a room, it starts with an initial acceleration a0 towards west. When it is projected towards north with a speed v0, it moves with an initial acceleration 3a0 towards west. Find the electric field and the maximum possible magnetic field in the room.

Answer

$\text{q}_\text{p}=\text{e},\ \text{mp}=\text{m},\ \text{F}=\text{q}_\text{p}\times\text{E}$
$\text{ma}_0=\text{eE}$
$\text{E}=\frac{\text{ma}_0}{\text{e}}$ towards west

The acceleration changes from a0 to 3a0
Hence net acceleration produced by magnetic field $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ is 2a0.
Force due to magnetic field
$\overrightarrow{\text{F}}_\text{B}=\text{m}\times2\text{a}_0=\text{e}\times\text{V}_0\times\text{B}$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}=\frac{2\text{ma}_0}{\text{eV}_0}$ downwards

For a circular coil of radius R and N turns carrying current I, the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point on its axis at a distance x from its centre is given by,
$\text{B}=\frac{\mu_{0}\text{IR}^{2}\text{N}}{2(\text{x}^{2}+\text{R}^{2})^{\frac{3}{2}}}$
  1. Show that this reduces to the familiar result for field at the centre of the coil.
  2. Consider two parallel co-axial circular coils of equal radius R, and number of turns N, carrying equal currents in the same direction, and separated by a distance R. Show that the field on the axis around the mid-point between the coils is uniform over a distance that is small as compared to R, and is given by,$\text{B}=0.72\frac{\mu_{0}\text{NI}}{\text{R}}$, approximately.
[Such an arrangement to produce a nearly uniform magnetic field over a small region is known as Helmholtz coils.]
