22. Figure below shows a uniform manganin wire XY of length 100 cm and resistance 9 Ω, connected to an accumulator D of emf 4 V and internal resistance 1 Ω through a variable resistance R. E is sa cell of emf 1.8 V connected to the wire XY via a jockey J and a central zero galvanometer G. It is found that the galvanometer shows no deflection when XJ = 80 cm. Find the value of R.

23. Obtain an expression for magnetic flux density ‘B’ at the center of a circular coil of radius R and having N turns, when a current I is flowing through it.

Magnetic flux density at the centre of circular coil:

Consider a circular coil of one turn of radius R with its centre at O, carrying a current I. To find the magnetic flux density at the centre of the current carrying coil, it is divided into a large number of elements of length dl. According to Biot-Savart law, the magnetic field due to one element is,

dB =

The magnetic flux density due to different current elements at the centre act in the same direction. Therefore the magnetic flux due to the whole circular coil at the centre of the coil is given by,

B =

If there are N turns in the coil, then the field at the centre, B =
