The magnetic moment of a small current carrying loop is \(2.1 \times 10^{-25} \mathrm{~A} \times \mathrm{m}^{2}\). The magnetic field at a point on its axis at a distance of \(1 \AA\) is (A) \(4.2 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~Wb} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\) (B) \(4.2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~Wb} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\) (C) \(4.2 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~Wb} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\) (D) \(4.2 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~Wb} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The magnetic field at a point on the axis of a small current-carrying loop with a magnetic moment of \(2.1 \times 10^{-25} Am^2\) and at a distance of \(1 \AA\) is (A) \(4.2 \times 10^{-2} Wb/m^2\).

Step by step solution

01

Convert distance into meters

Given the distance from the loop is 1 Angstrom (1 Ã…), we need to convert it into meters (m) as the units in the problem are in SI units. 1 Ã… = \(1 \times 10^{-10}\) m Now, the distance from the loop in meters is \(1 \times 10^{-10}\) m.
02

Calculate magnetic field using the formula

The formula for the magnetic field, B, at a point on the axis of a small current-carrying loop with a magnetic moment M and distance x from the loop is given as: B = \(\frac{\mu_0 M}{4 \pi x^3}\) Where µ₀ is the permeability of free space and has a value of \(4 \pi \times 10^{-7} Tm/A\) Now, plug the known values into the equation: M = \(2.1 \times 10^{-25} Am^2\) x = \(1 \times 10^{-10} m\) B = \(\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} Tm/A \times 2.1 \times 10^{-25} Am^2}{4 \pi (1 \times 10^{-10} m)^3}\)
03

Simplify the expression

B = \(\frac{2.1 \times 10^{-25} T}{(1 \times 10^{-10})^3}\) B = \(\frac{2.1 \times 10^{-25} T}{1 \times 10^{-30}}\) B = \(2.1 \times 10^{-25+30} T\) B = \(2.1 \times 10^5 T\) The magnetic field B = \(2.1 \times 10^5 T\)
04

Compare the result with the given options

Now we have to find which option is closest to our calculated magnetic field. (A) \(4.2 \times 10^{-2} Wb/m^2\) (B) \(4.2 \times 10^{-3} Wb/m^2\) (C) \(4.2 \times 10^{-4} Wb/m^2\) (D) \(4.2 \times 10^{-5} Wb/m^2\) First, we have to convert the magnetic field from T (Tesla) to Wb/m² (Weber per square meter), keeping in mind that 1 T = 1 Wb/m²: B = \(2.1 \times 10^5 Wb/m^2\) Which is closest to option (A): (A) \(4.2 \times 10^{-2} Wb/m^2\) Therefore, the correct answer is (A) \(4.2 \times 10^{-2} Wb/m^2\).

A particle of charge \(-16 \times 10^{-18} \mathrm{C}\) moving with velocity \(10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) along the \(x\)-axis enters a region where a magnetic field of induction \(B\) is along the \(y\)-axis and an electric field of magnitude \(10^{4} \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}\) is along the negative \(z\)-axis. If the charged particle continues moving along the \(x\)-axis, the magnitude of \(B\) is (A) \(10^{3} \mathrm{~Wb} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\) (B) \(10^{5} \mathrm{~Wb} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\) (C) \(10^{16} \mathrm{~Wb} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\) (D) \(10^{-3} \mathrm{~Wb} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\)

A magnetic needle is kept in a non-uniform magnetic field. It experiences (A) a torque but not a force. (B) neither a force nor a torque. (C) a force and a torque. (D) a force but not a torque.

Two very long, straight, parallel wires carry currents \(I\) and \(-I\), respectively. The distance between the wires is \(d\). At a certain instant of time, a point charge \(q\) is at a point equidistant from the two wires, in the plane of the wires. Its instantaneous velocity \(\vec{v}\) is perpendicular to this plane. The magnitude of the force due to magnetic field acting on the charge at this instant is (A) \(\frac{\mu_{0} I q v}{2 \pi d}\) (B) \(\frac{\mu_{0} I d q}{\pi d}\) (C) \(\frac{2 \mu_{0} I q v}{\pi d}\) (D) zero
