Two identical circular loops P and Q each of radius r are lying in parallel planes such that they have common axis. The currents through P and Q are I and 4I respectively in clockwise direction as seen from O. The net magnetic field at O is : [figure]

  1. 0 I4 2r towards Q
  2. 3 0 I4 2r towards Q
  3. 3 0 I4 2r towards P
  4. 0 I4 2r towards P

Answer

(2) 3 0 I4 2r towards Q

Solution

Field on the axis of a loop at distance x from its centre: B = 0 I r22(r2 + x2)3/2

Here x = r: B = 0 I r22(2r2)3/2 = 0 I r22 2 2r3 = 0 I4 2r

BP = 0 I4 2r and BQ = 4 0 I4 2r

Direction (right-hand rule): a current that looks clockwise to the observer at O gives a field on the axis pointing away from the observer.

BP at O points towards P and BQ at O points towards Q.

Bnet = BQ - BP = 3 0 I4 2r towards Q

Answer: (2)

Uniform magnetic fields of different strengths (B1 and B2), both normal to the plane of the paper exist as shown in the figure. A charged particle of mass m and charge q, at the interface at an instant, moves into the region 2 with velocity v and returns to the interface. It continues to move into region 1 and finally reaches the interface. What is the displacement of the particle during this movement along the interface?
