41.

A coil in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side l is suspended between the pole pieces of a permanent magnet such that B is in plane of the coil. If due to current i in the triangle a torque T acts on it, the side l of the triangle is


42.

An electron moves in a circular orbit with a uniform speed v. It produces a magnetic field B at the centre of the circle. The radius of the circle is proportional, to

  • B/v

  • v/B

  • √v/B

  • √B/v


43.

In a mass spectrometer used for measuring the masses of ions, the ions are initially accelerated by an electric potential V and then made to describe semicircular paths of radius R using a magnetic field B. If V and B are kept constant the ratio charge on the ionmass of the ion will be proportional to

  • 1R

  • 1R2

  • R2

  • R


44.

The north pole of a long horizontal bar magnet is being brought closer to a vertical conducting plane along the perpendicular direction. The direction of the induced current in the conducting plane will be

  • horizontal

  • vertical

  • clockwise

  • Anticlockwise

An electric current passes through a long straight copper wire. At a distance 5 cm from the straight wire, the magnetic field is B. The magnetic field at 20 cm from the straight wire would be

  • B6

  • B4

  • B3

  • B2


46.

An electron of mass m and charge q is travelling with a speed v along a circular path of radius r at right angles to a uniform magnetic field B. If speed of the electron is doubled and the magnetic field is halved, then resulting path would have a radius of

  • r4

  • r2

  • 2r

  • 4r


47.

A galvanometer acting as a voltmeter should have

  • low resistance in series with its coil

  • low resistance in parallel with its coil

  • high resistance in series with its coil

  • high resistance in parallel with its coil

48.

A galvanometer can be changed into an ammeter by using

  • low resistance shunt in series

  • low resistance shunt in parallel

  • high resistance shunt in series

  • high resistance shunt in parallel


B.

low resistance shunt in parallel

A galvanometer can be converted to ammeter by connecting a low resistance ( called shunt resistance) in parallel to the galvanometer. If resistance is connected in parallel, then some of the current will flow through resistance.

A proton moving vertically downward enters a magnetic field pointing towards north. In which direction proton will deflect?

  • East

  • West

  • North

  • South


50.

A coil of n number of turns is wound tightly in the form of a spiral with inner and outer radii a and b respectively. When a current of strength I is passed through the coil, the magnetic field at its centre is

  • μo nIb - a loge ab

  • μo n I2 b - a

  • 2 μo nIb

  • μo nI2 b - a loge ba
