Magnetic Effects of Electric Current DHA-03

1. A long current carrying wire PQ is free to move 4. An electron projected towards west is deflected
when placed in a magnetic field B at right angles to towards south by a magnetic field. The direction of
the wire, as shown (the figure being drawn in the magnetic field is
horizontal plane). Then (A) towards north (B) towards south
(C) downward (D) upward

5. Two α-particles moving along the parallel lines with

different velocities, will (neglect electrostatic
repulsion)
(A) attract each other
(A) it will move along the magnetic field to the
right (B) repel each other
(B) it will move upwards, towards the observer (C) neither attract nor repel
(C) it will move downwards, away from the (D) move towards its left
observer 6. The magnetic field produced due to a circular wire
(D) it will not move at all at its centre is
(A) at 45° to the plane of the wire
(B) at 60° to the plane of the wire
2. An electron is travelling horizontally towards east. (C) in the plane of the wire
A magnetic field in vertically downward direction (D) perpendicular to the plane of the wire
exerts a force on the electron along
(A) east (B) west
(C) north (D) south

3. An α-particle enters a magnetic field at right angle

to it as shown in the figure given below.
The direction of force acting on it will be along

(A) to the left

(B) to the right
(C) into the page
(D) out of the page

Hints and Solutions

1. (C) 5. (A)
Use Fleming’s left hand rule to find direction of Find direction of magnetic field using Right hand
current, magnetic force and magnetic field. thumb rule first then apply Fleming’s left
hand rule to find direction of Magnetic force
2. (D)
Fleming’s left hand rule to find direction of 6. (D)
current, magnetic force and magnetic field. Use Right hand thumb rule.

3. (D)
Use Fleming’s left hand rule to find direction of
current, magnetic force and magnetic field.

4. (D)
Fleming’s left hand rule to find direction of
current, magnetic force and magnetic field.
