91Ó°ÊÓ

Two coaxial solenoids of different radii carry current \(I\) in the same direction. Let \(\vec{F}_{1}\) be the magnetic force on the inner solenoid due to the outer one and \(\vec{F}_{2}\) be the magnetic force on the outer solenoid due to the inner one. Then (A) \(\vec{F}_{1}\) is radially inwards and \(\vec{F}_{2}\) is radially outwards. (B) \(\vec{F}_{1}\) is radially inwards and \(\vec{F}_{2}=0\). (C) \(\vec{F}_{1}\) is radially outwards and \(\vec{F}_{2}=0\). (D) \(\vec{F}_{1}=\vec{F}_{2}=0\).

Short Answer

Expert verified
The magnetic forces on both solenoids are zero, so the correct option is (D) \(\vec{F}_{1}=\vec{F}_{2}=0\).

Step by step solution

01

Derive the magnetic field inside a solenoid

Let's first derive the magnetic field B inside a solenoid using Ampere's Law. For an ideal solenoid with n turns per unit length, we have: \[B = \mu_0 n I\]
02

Determine the direction of magnetic fields due to the solenoids

As both solenoids carry current in the same direction, their magnetic fields will be in the same direction inside the solenoids. We can use the right-hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field, which will be parallel to the axis of the solenoids.
03

Calculate magnetic force on solenoid

To calculate the magnetic force on a solenoid due to another solenoid, we will use the expression: \[\vec{F} = I\int\vec{dl}\times\vec{B}\] Where \(\vec{dl}\) is an infinitesimal element of the solenoid and \(\vec{B}\) is the magnetic field. Since the magnetic fields inside both solenoids are parallel to their axis and too their directions, the magnetic force acting on the outer solenoid due to the inner solenoid \(\vec{F}_{2}\) is zero. Now, we need to analyze the force on the inner solenoid due to the outer solenoid \(\vec{F}_{1}\). Considering the magnetic field generated by the outer solenoid outside its region has a radial component, but inside the outer solenoid (and also inside the inner solenoid), it is nearly parallel to the solenoid's axis. Thus, the force \(\vec{F}_{1}\) will also have no radial component, and it will be zero. With this information, we can see that the correct option is: (D) \(\vec{F}_{1}=\vec{F}_{2}=0\).
