Q.1. When the charged particles move in a combined magnetic and electric field, then
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.
Q.3. 1 gauss =
a) 10-4 Tesla
b) 10-6 Tesla
c) 10-5 Tesla
d) None
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.

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. 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.
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
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,
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”.
