The current flowing through a conductor is given by I = neAvd.
(i) Identify each term in the equation.
(ii) Obtain an expression for vd, if the current flowing through the conductor of length I has its ends maintained at a potential difference of V volts.
(i) Write an expression for Biot-Savart’s law in the vector form. Write an expression for the magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil of radius R, with N turns and carrying a current I.
(ii) A helium nucleus completes one round of a circle of radius 0.8 m in 2 seconds. Find the magnetic field at the centre of the circle.
Here,
q = Charge on 2 electrons
= 2 x 1.6 x 10-19 C
= 3.2 x 10-19 C.
t = 2 seconds.
r = 0.8 m
B =
= 4π x 10-26
= 4 x 3.14 x 10-26
= 1256 x 10-25T
(i) Derive an expression for the fringe width ‘y’ in Young’s double slit experiment. Use X as the wavelength of the monochromatic source, D as the distance of the screen from the slits and d as the distance of separation between the slits.
(ii) How does the fringe pattern change if the monochromatic source of light in the above experiment is replaced by a white source of light ?
