Two circular coils made of similar wires but of radii 20 cm and 40 cm are connected in parallel.
What will be the ratio of the magnetic field at their centres?
Biot-savart law states that, the magnetic field induction dB at a point due to current element is
where,
I.dl is the current element,
r is the distance of point from the current elemnt and,
Expression for magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil :
Consider a circular coil of radius 'r' with center O. Let, I be the current flowing in the circular coil. Assume, that the current coil is made of a large number of current elements each of length 'dl' .
current element = I.dl
Now, as per Biot Savart law we have,
Since, the angle between is 900.
Therefore,
Thus,
B=
But,
Therefore,
where,
n is the number of turns in the coil.
The magnetic field lines.
The field lines of (a) a bar magent, (b) a current carrying finite solenoid and (c) electric dipole. At large distances, the field lines are very similar. The curves labelled (i) and (ii) are closed Gaussian surfaces.
There is a basic difference between magnetic and electric field lines. In case of the electric field of an electric dipole, the electric lines of force originate from positive charge and end at the negative charge.
In case of a bar magnet, the magnetic field lines are closed loops, i.e., magnetic field lines do not start or end anywhere.
Derive an expression for the torque acting on a loop of N turns, area A, carrying current I, when held in a uniform magnetic field.
With the help of circuit, show how a moving coil galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter of given range. Write the necessary mathematical formula.
Let I = current through the loop PQRS
a, b = sides of the rectangular loop
A = ab = area of the loop
N = number of turns in the loop
According to Fleming's left-hand rule, the side PQ experiences a normal inward force, F1 = laB and side SR experiences a normal outward force, F2 = IaB. These two equal and opposite forces form a couple which exerts a torque given by
τ = Force x Perpendicular distance
= IaB x b sin θ
= IB (ab) sin θ
= IB A sin θ [ ∵ A = ab]
As the coil has N turns, so
τ = NBA sin θ
Conversion of galvanometer into ammeter: A galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter by connecting a low resistance S in parallel with it. This low resistance is called shunt.
Let Ig be the current with which the galvanometer gives full scale deflection. As galvanometer and shunt are connected in parallel, so
P.D. across the galvanometer = P.D. across the shunt
or
or
Hence by connecting a shunt of resistance Rs across the galvanometer, we get an ammeter of desired range.
