Selfstudys Com File-3

The document discusses the principles of magnetic dipoles and the behavior of magnetic field lines around current-carrying conductors. It explains the forces between two parallel conductors carrying currents in the same and opposite directions, as well as the effects of changing the radius and diameter of coils on magnetic moments. Additionally, it covers the nature of magnetic lines of force, the behavior of a compass needle in a magnetic field, and the magnetic properties of circular loops carrying current.

Magnetic Dipole & Magnetic Field Lines

a
Let a and b be two long straight parallel conductors. I a and Ib are the current flowing through
them and separated by a distance d. Magnetic field induction at a point P on a conductor b
due to current I passing through a is
2.(i) Two long straight parallel conductors a and b carrying steady currents Ia and Ib
respectively are separated by a distance d. Write the magnitude and direction, what is the
nature and magnitude of the force between the two conductors?

(ii) Show with the help of a diagram, how the force between the two conductors would
change when the currents in them flow in the opposite directions. [Foreign 2014]
Now, let the direction of current in conductor b be reversed. The magnetic field B2 at point P
due to current Ia flowing through a will be downwards. Similarly, the magnetic field B : at point
Q due to current Ib passing through b will also be downward as shown. The force on a will be,
therefore towards the left. Also, the force on b will be towards the right. Hence, the two
conductors will repel each other as shown.

3.A circular coil of N turns and radius R carries a current I. It is unwound and rewound to
make another coil of radius R/2, current I remaining the same. Calculate the ratio of the
magnetic moments of the new coil and the original coil. [All India 2012]

4.A circular coil of N turns and diameter d carries a current I. It is unwound and rewound to
make another coil of diameter 2d, current I remaining the same. Calculate the ratio of the
magnetic moments of the new coil and the original coil. [All India 2012]
[Link] the following:

Why do magnetic lines of force form continuous closed loops?


Why are the field lines repelled (expelled) when a diamagnetic material is placed in an
external uniform magnetic field? [Foreign 2011]

6.A small compass needle of magnetic moment M and moment of inertia I is free to
oscillate in a magnetic field It is slightly disturbed from its equilibrium position and then
released. Show that it executes simple harmonic motion. Hence, write the expression for its
time period. [HOTS, Delhi 2011C]
[Link] does a circular loop carrying current behaves as a magnet? [Delhi 2011]

Ans .The current round in the face of the coil is in anti-clockwise direction, then this behaves
like a North pole, whereas when it viewed from other sc le, then current round in it is in
clockwise direction necessarily forming South pole of magnet.

Hence, current loop have both magnetic poles and therefore, behaves like a magnetic dipole

central nucleus. [All India 2010, Foreign 2009]
