Passage: A solenoid is a wire wound closely in form of helix. Generally length of solenoid is large as
compared to the transverse dimension. The magnetic field inside a very tightly wound long
solenoid is uniform everywhere and is zero outside it. The field at a point P on the axis of
solenoid can be obtained by superposition of fields due to large number of identical coils,
all having their centre on the axis of solenoid.
Using Biot-Savart law, the field at P can be given as

B= (2n) [sin + sin ], where n = number of turns/length, l = length of solenoid.

10. If the solenoid is of infinite length and the point P is near one end, the magnetic field is

12. The variation of magnetic field with distance along the axis of solenoid is
(a) (b) (c) (d)
1. (d) Let magnetic field be Bx + By - Bz, So F1 = q ( X ), or q (- + ) = q [1 X (Bx + By + Bz)]
- + = By - Bz By = 1, Bz = 1, In second case q ( - ) = q [1 X (Bx + By + Bz )]
- = - Bx + Bz , or Bx = 1, By = 1, Bz = 1, Hence the magnetic field is ( + + ) T.
2. (c) Since the angle between velocity and magnetic field is 90 0. Path of the particle will be circular
and from the diagram, the radius of circular path will be

r= = = = , or y=

3. (c) The direction of magnetic field due to both the wires AO and OC are out of page of paper. Due to wire OC

B= {sin 1 + sin 2}, = {sin (90 - ) + sin 90}



= (1 + cos /2), Due to both the wires, the net magnetic field is
/

B= (1 + cos /2) = (1 + cos /2),
/ /

4. (a) Since point P lies on the axis of straight part OA, magnetic field at point P is zero due to part OA of wire.
For part OC From OPN, d = R cos 450, Since both the ends O and C are on the

same side of normal PN, therefore, 1 = - 45 and 2 = + 900. 0
So B = (sin 1 + sin 2)


[sin (- 450) = sin 900], [- sin 450 + 1] =

= = (1 - )

( )

5. (b) Consider two strips A and C of the sheet situated symmetrically on the two sides of P. The magnetic
field at P due to strip A is B1 and that due to strip C is B2. The resultant of these two is parallel
to the width AC of the sheet. The field due to the whole sheet will also be in the same direction.
The field on the opposite side of the sheet at the same distance will also be of the same
magnitude but in opposite direction.
Applying Amperes law to the rectangle shown we get 2Bl = 0 kl, B = 0k/2

6. (c) A loop of any shape and size does not experience any force in a uniform magnetic field
perpendicular to the plane of the loop. Force on an element of width d at an angular
displacement = BiR d in the direction perpendicular to the element

F=0+0=0

7. (b) Let r = radius of circular path of particle, If (b a) r

the particle cannot enter the region x > b, So, the enter in the region x > b

r > (b a), or > (b a),

() ()
or > , min =

8. (b) and (d) Consider an element dx of the rod at a distance x from the wire. Magnetic field due

to wire AB at the element B= , Hence, force on element dF = Bidl = dx

+
So, net force F = =
/, F= ln (1 + b/a) and acts vertically up.

Hence choice (b) is correct. In this problem as B is not uniform, the force
is different for different elements of the rod. The force acting on the rod is maximum for the element closest to the
wire and minimum for the farthest. As a result, the rod will translate as well as rotate. Choice (d) is correct.
9. (c) and (d) As the particle enters the magnetic field, it will travel in a circular path. The centre will be on line perpendicular
to its velocity. The direction of q (X) shows that the centre will be outside the field as shown.
As APO = 900, So OPQ = 90 - , Since OPQ = OQP = 90 -
So CQB = , Hence = , Choice OPQ, PQ = 2OP cos OPR = 2 (OP) cos (90 - )

PQ = , Hence choice (c) is correct and choice (b) is wrong. Angle subtended by are PQ at its centre

is 2. Hence time taken inside the field t= , = = , Hence, choice (d) is correct.
