the force acting is known as _________.
a. Centripetal force
b. Centrifugal force
c. Lorentz force
d. Orbital force
Answer: c
Explanation: When the charged particles move in a combined magnetic and electric field,
then the force acting is known as Lorentz force.

Q.2. Identify the condition under which the force acting on a charge moving through a
uniform magnetic field is minimum.
a) θ = 90o
b) θ = 180o
c) θ = 270o
d) θ = 340o
Answer: b
Explanation: When θ = 0o or 180o,
Fm = qvBsinθ = qvB (0) = 0.
So when a charge moves parallel or antiparallel to the direction of the magnetic field, it
experiences a minimum force.

Answer: a

Q.4. What is the force exerted by a stationary charge when it is placed in a magnetic
field?
a) Zero
b) Maximum
c) Minimum
d) Depends on the strength of the magnetic field
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: A stationary charge does not produce any magnetic field and it does not suffer
any interaction against the external magnetic field. Hence the force exerted is zero.

Section-2: Very Short Answer type Questions

Q.1. What would a charged particle travelling in the direction of a constant magnetic field
take?
Answer:
As there would be no forces acting on the charged particle, its route would be a straight line
going in the direction of a uniform magnetic field.
Q.2. State two properties of the material of the wire used for suspension of the coil in a
moving coil galvanometer?
Ans. The properties of the material of the wire used for suspension of the coil in a moving
coil galvanometer are as follows:
1. It should be a non-magnetic substance.
2. It should be a good conductor of electricity.

Q.3. A cyclotron is not suitable to accelerate electron. Why?


Answer:
A cyclotron is not suitable to accelerate electron because its mass is less due to which they
gain speed and step out of the dee immediately.

Q.4. Define one tesla (1 T) of magnetic field.


Answer:
Magnetic field is said to be one tesla if a unit positive charge moving in a direction
perpendicular to field with a unit velocity of 1 m/s experiences a force of 1 N.
Q.5. Under what condition, dose an electron moving through a magnetic field experience
maximum force?
Answer:
When an electron is moving in a direction perpendicular to that of magnetic field, it
experiences a maximum force of magnitude, F= evB.

Q. 6. Name the physical quantity whose SI unit is Wb m-2. Is it a scalar or a vector quantity?
Answer:
Magnetic field vector B has its SI unit Wb m-2. (In fact, 1 tesla is also referred to as 1 Wb m-
2
, i.e., 1 T = 1 Wb m-2). Magnetic field is a vector.

Q. 1.What is right hand palm rule? Write its uses.


Answer:
Stretch out the palm of your right – hand such that the fingers are perpendicular to the
direction of thumb.

If the thumb points the direction of current and the fingers point the direction of magnetic
field, then the force acting on conductor will be in upward direction perpendicular to
Direction i the palm.
Uses:
By it’s we can find out intensity of magnetic filed due topufrent carrying conductor.

Q. 2. Give one difference each between diamagnetic and ferromagnetic substances. Give
one example of each?
Answer:
Diamagnetic substances are weakly repelled by a magnet eg. Gold.
Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted by a magnet eg. Iron.

Q. 3. State any rule which predicts the direction of magnetic field due to current flowing
through a straight conductor.
Answer:
Right- hand thumb rule predicts the direction of magnetic field. As per this rule, hold the
current- carrying straight conductor in your right- hand such that the thumb points along the
direction of current, then the fingers will curl round the wire in the direction of magnetic field
produced due to that current.
Q. 4. What is cyclotron? Explain its working principle?
Answer:
It is a device used to accelerate charged particles like protons, deuterons, -
particle etc.
It is based on the principle that a charged particle can be accelerated to very high energies by
making it pass through a moderate electric field a number of times and applying a strong
magnetic field at the same time.
Section-4: Long Answer type Questions

Q. 1. Give the basic difference in converting a galvanometer into


(i) a voltmeter and
(ii) an ammeter.
Answer:
(i) Voltmeter is connected in parallel with the circuit element across which
the potential difference is intended to be measured.

A galvanometer can be converted into a voltmeter by connecting a higher resistance in series


with it. The value of this resistance is so adjusted that only current I which produces full scale
deflection in the galvanometer, passes through the galvanometer.

(ii) A galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter by connecting a low value


resistance in parallel with it.
Q. 2. Draw a schematic sketch of a moving coil galvanometer and describe briefly its
principle and working.
Answer:
Principle : “If a current carrying coil is freely suspended/pivoted in a uniform magnetic field,
it experiences a deflecting torque.” Under the influence of the influence of the torque, (i.e.,
deflection) is proportional to the current.
Working: As the pivoted coil is placed in a radial magnetic field, hence on passing current I
through it, a deflecting torque acts on the coil which is given by, τ = NAIB

The spring Sp attached to the coil provides the counter torque and in equilibrium state
balances the deflecting torque. If φ is steady angular deflection then counter torque is kφ.
…where [k = torsional constant of the spring
In equilibrium state,

Thus, deflection is directly proportional to the current flowing in the coil.


(i) Uniform radial magnetic field. It keeps the magnetic field line normal to the area vector of
the coil.
(ii) Soft iron core in galvanometer. The cylindrical soft iron core, when placed inside the coil
of a galvanometer, makes the magnetic field stronger and radial in the space between it and
pole pieces, such that whatever the position of the rotation of the coil may be, the magnetic
field is always parallel to its plane.

Q. 3. State Biot –Savart’s law in vector form. Write the expression for the magnitude of the
magnetic field at the centre of a circular loop of radius r carrying a steady current I. Draw the
field lines due to the current loop.
Answer:
According to Biot-Savart’s law, “magnetic field acting at a particular point due to current
carrying element is proportional to the division of cross product of current element and
position vector of point where the field is to be calculated from the current element to the
cube of the distance between current element and the point where the field is to be
calculated”.

Magnetic field on the axis of circular current loop :


As in a special case we may obtain the field at the centre of the loop. Here x = 0, and we
obtain
In a current loop, both the opposite faces behave as opposite poles, making it a magnetic
dipole. One side of the current carrying coil behaves like the N-pole and the other side as the
S-pole of a magnet.
