Magneto statics and Time Varying Fields

a. Write the condition of steady state current using equation of continuity and show that
Amperes law implies that the current is in the steady state?
b. Show that Lorentz magnetic force does no work.
a. Using Biot-Savarts law, calculate the magnetic field of induction due to a long straight
wire
b. Show that the field at the end of a long current carrying solenoid is half that of at the
centre.
a. Deduce differential form of Amperes circuital law and hence prove that the static
magnetic field is not conservative.
b. Applying Amperes law find the magnetic field due to a long straight current carrying solid
cylinder. Draw the necessary diagram explaining the variation of magnetic field with
distance.

that position (ii) magnetic field at the point (1,1,1).

a. Find the magnetic field at the center of (a) an equilateral triangular loop and (b) square
loop both having side a and carrying current I.
b. Two wires carrying current in the same direction of 5,000 A and 10,000 A are placed with
their axis 5 cm apart. Calculate the force between them. Justify whether the force is of
repulsion or attraction type.
a. A circular current carrying coil has a radius R. Show that the distance from the centre of
the coil, on the axis, where B will be (1/8) of its value at the centre of the coil is (3r).
b. A straight wire 0.5m long carries a current of 100A and lies at right angles to a uniform
field of 1.5T. Find the mechanical force on the conductor when it lies in a position such
that it is inclined at an angle of 30 to the direction of field.
If a charged particle of charge 0.4 C is moving with a velocity 4
m.s-1 through an

electric field E 10i 10k , and magnetic field of induction B 2i 16 j 6k , then find (i) the
force experienced by the particle in electric field (ii) the force experienced in magnetic field and
(iii) Lorentz force.
a. Two wire loops ABCDA formed by joining two semi circular wires of radii R1 and R2 carries
a current I as shown in figure. Find out the magnetic field at centre O.

a. Consider a coaxial cable which consists of an inner wire of radius a surrounded by an

outer shell of inner and outer radii b and c respectively. The inner wire carries a current i

b. Calculate the magnetic field intensity just outside and inside of a hollow cylinder of radius 4 cm
carrying current 50 A.
a. Two circular coils each of radius 6cm and 60 turns are separated by a distance of 16 cm along their
common axis. Find the strength of the magnetic field of induction at a point midway between
them on their common axis when a current of 0.1 A is passing through them in anticlockwise
direction.
b. Calculate the magnetic field intensity along the axis of a solenoid carrying a current of 3 A. The
length of the solenoid is 1.5 m and the total number of turns is 1500.
