l A particle of mass M and charge Q moving with velocity v describes a circular path of radius R when subjected to a
uniform transverse magnetic field of induction B. The work done by the field when the particle completes one full
circle is

(a) BQv2πR (b) GH R JK (c) zero (d) BQ2πR [AIEEE 2003]

Sol. Work done by magnetic field is zero.

So, (c) is the right choice.

l A wire of certain length carries a steady current. It is first bent to form a circular coil of one turn. The same wire is
next bent to form a circular coil of three turns. The ratio of magnetic induction at the centre of the coil in the two cases
is
(a) 9 : 1 (b) 1 : 9 (c) 1 : 3 (d) 1 : 1 [Kerala PMT 2003]
Sol. Ist case :
Number of turns in the coil = 1

∴ 1 × 2πr1 = l (length of wire) or r1 =

B1 = = = 0

B2 = = =

∴ B1 = B2 = 1 : 9
So, (b) is the right choice.
