Worked practice questions

A 0.1 m radius loop carries 5 A. The magnetic field at a point on its axis 0.1 m from the centre is approximately (μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ T·m/A)

  1. 1.6 × 10⁻⁵ T
  2. 2.2 × 10⁻⁵ T
  3. 3.1 × 10⁻⁵ T
  4. 1.1 × 10⁻⁵ T
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. 1.1 × 10⁻⁵ T

1. Use B = μ₀IR² / (2(R²+x²)^(3/2)). 2. With R = x = 0.1 m: R²+x² = 0.02 m²; (0.02)^(3/2) ≈ 0.002828. 3. Numerator: μ₀IR² = 4π × 10⁻⁷ × 5 × 0.01 ≈ 6.28 × 10⁻⁸. 4. B = 6.28 × 10⁻⁸ / (2 × 0.002828) ≈ 1.11 × 10⁻⁵ T. _Source: syllabus Physics Ch 4 "Moving Charges and Magnetism", §4.6_

A bar magnet with N pole pointing right is placed near a circular current loop whose magnetic moment also points right. The interaction is

  1. attractive
  2. repulsive
  3. zero force
  4. torque but no force
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. attractive

1. A current loop acts as a magnetic dipole; aligning moments means the loop's south pole faces the magnet's north pole. 2. Opposite poles attract in magnetic interactions. 3. The non-uniform field of the bar magnet exerts a net force on the loop. 4. The force pulls the loop toward the bar magnet, so the interaction is attractive. _Source: syllabus Physics Ch 4 "Moving Charges and Magnetism", §4.10.2_

Cyclotrons are not used to accelerate electrons because

  1. Electrons have negative charge
  2. Electron mass grows too fast with energy
  3. Magnetic field cannot deflect electrons
  4. Electrons spin too rapidly for resonance
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Electron mass grows too fast with energy

1. Cyclotron operation depends on a constant frequency f = qB/(2πm). 2. As electrons gain energy, their relativistic mass m grows rapidly because the rest mass is very small. 3. The cyclotron frequency therefore drifts, breaking resonance with the AC accelerating voltage. 4. Heavier ions tolerate higher energies before relativistic effects matter; for electrons, betatrons or synchrotrons are used instead. _Source: syllabus Physics Ch 4 "Moving Charges and Magnetism", §4.4.2_
