Two circular coils made of similar wires but of radii 20 cm and 4

An electron moves around the nucleus in a hydrogen atom of radius 0.51 Å, with a velocity of 2 x 105 m/s. Calculate the following:
(i)    the equivalent current due to orbital motion of electron,
(ii)    the magnetic field produced at the centre of the nucleus
(iii) the magnetic moment associated with the electron. 


Given,
Radius, r =  0.51 Å = 0.51 x 10–10 m 
velocity, v = 2 x 105 m/s

(i) Equivalent current due to orital motion of electron is given by, 

             

             I = 1.6 × 10-19 × 2 × 1052 × 3.14 ×0.51 × 10-10  

             I = 3.2 × 10-43.2028  = 0.99 × 10-4  = 10-4 A 

(ii) Magnetic field produced at the centre of the electron is,
                     B = μnI 

                      B = 4π×10-7×1×10-4 

                      B = 4×3.14×10-11    =12.56 × 10-11     = 1.256 × 10-10T. 

(iii) Magnetic moment assosciated with the electron

           M = IA     = I (πr2)     = 10-4×3.14×(0.51 × 10-10)2     = 3.14 × 0.2601 × 10-4 × 10-20  

           M = 0.816 × 10-24     = 8.16 × 10-25  Am2

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?



Given, two circular coils mad of similar wires.
Radius of first wire, r1 = 20 cm
Radius of second wire, r= 40 cm
Magnetic field at the centre of circular coil of radius r, turns N, and current I passing in coil is 
 B = μ0NI2rB = μ0N2rVR                                       [R = resistance of coil]B = μ0N2rV2πrx                             [x is resistance per unit length]B = μ0NV4πxr2 

As coils are is parallel so potential difference ‘V’ are equal in both coils 

                V1r2
                  B1B2 = r22r12
                  B1B2 = 40202B1B2 = 4    B1:B2 = 4:1

State Biot-Savart law Using Biot-Savart law, derive an expression for the magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil of number of turns ‘N’, radius ‘r’ carrying a current.

Biot-savart law states that, the magnetic field induction dB at a point due to current element is 

                dB = μo4π I dl sinθr2 
where,
I.dl is the current element,
r is the distance of point from the current elemnt and,
θ is the angle between dl and r.

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,  

               dB = μo4π I dl sinθr2
Since, the angle between dl and r is 900.
Therefore,
                     dB = μo4π I dlr2 
Thus, 

B= dB = μo4π I dl r2 = μo4π Ir2dl
But, 
dl = total length of circular coil        = circumference of current loop = 2π r 

Therefore,
                  B = μO4π 2πnIr  
where,
n is the number of turns in the coil.

Draw the field lines of (a) a bar magnet (b) a current carrying finite solenoid, and (c) an electric dipole.
What basic difference do you notice between the magnetic and electric field lines? How do you explain this difference?  

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.

The magnetic field lines.The field lines of (a) a bar magent, (b) a c
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

Let I = current through the loop PQRSa, b = sides of the rectangular

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 I = current through the loop PQRSa, b = sides of the rectangular

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                     straight I subscript straight g straight R subscript straight g space equals space left parenthesis straight I minus straight I subscript straight g right parenthesis straight R subscript straight s
or                        straight R subscript straight s space equals space fraction numerator straight I over denominator straight I minus straight I subscript straight g end fraction cross times straight R subscript straight g
Hence by connecting a shunt of resistance Rs across the galvanometer, we get an ammeter of desired range.
