i) State Biot Savart Law.

ii) Find magnetic flux density at a point on the axis of a long solenoid having 5000 turns/m when it is carrying a current of 2 A.


i) Biot Savart Law:

The magnitude of the field at point P is given by, 

dB = fraction numerator straight mu subscript straight o over denominator 4 straight pi end fraction space fraction numerator i space d l space s i n space theta over denominator r squared end fraction;

where straight theta is the angle between i dl and r.

In Young's double slit experiment, using monochromatic light, fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distances from the slits. If the the screen is moved by 5 x 10-2 m towards the slits, the change in the fringe width is 3 x 10-15 m. If the distance between the two slits is 10-3 m, calculate the wavelength of the light used.
