CASE BASED/SOURCE-BASED INTEGRATED QUESTIONS

Q.1. Read the foliowing and answer any four questions from () to (v):
A solenoid is a long helical coil of wire
through which a current 18
is run in order to create a magnetic field. The 16
magnetic field of
the solenoid is the superposition of the fields due to the current 1 4
12
through each coil. It is nearly uniform inside the solenoid and 10
close outside and is similar to the field of a bar magnet
to zero

having a north pole at one end and a south pole at the other 6
depending upon the direction of current flow. The magnetic field
produced in the solenoid is dependent on a few factors such as, 1.0 12
the current in the coil, number of turns per unit length etc. 0.0 0.2 0.4 06 0.8

Q.2. Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (p):
An electric current always produces a magnetic field. Even weak ion currents that travel along
the nerve cells in our body produce magnetic fields. When we touch something, our nerves carry
an electric impulse to the muscles we need to use. This impulse produces a very weak temporary
magnetic field. Two main organs in the human body where the magnetic field produced is
significant are the heart and the brain. The magnetic field inside the body forms the basis of
obtaining the images of diferent body parts. This is done using a technique called "magnetic
resonance imaging". Analysis of these images helps in medical diagnosis.

Q.3. Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (u):
Oersted demonstrated that an electric current flowing through a conductor produces a magnetic
field. The field so produced exerts a force on a magnet placed in the vicinity of the conductor
and opposite force on the current-
Ampere suggested that the magnet must also exert an equal
carrying conductor. The direction of the force on the conductor depends upon the direction of
current as well as the direction of magnetic field. Force acting on the conductor is found maximum
when the direction of current is at right angles to the direction of the the magnetic field. In such a
condition we can use a simple rule to find the direction of the force on the conductor.
Mathematically, it is found that magnitude of force F experienced by a current-carrying straight
conductor oflength l ina magnetic field B is given as:
F Bll sin8,
where 0 is the angle between the direction of current-carrying conductor and the magnetic field.
( Which law gives the direction of magnetic field due to a current flowing in a straight
conducting wire ?
(a) Right-hand thumb rule (b) Fleming's left-hand rule
(c) Oersted's rule (d) Ampere's law
(i) Which law gives the direction of force experienced by a current-carrying conductor when
placed normally to a magneticfield?
(a) Fleming's right-hand rule (b) Faraday's law
()Fleming's left-hand rule (d) Maxwell's cork screw rule
m) A current-carrying conductor experiences no force when placed in a magnetic field. From
this we conclude that
(a) direction of magnetic field is parallel or antiparallel to the direction of current flow in the
conductor.
(b) magnetic field is directed at right angles to current direction.
(c) magnetic field is weak.
(d) current-carrying wire is a poor conductor.
(iv) A current-carrying conductor
experiences a force of 0.5 N when placed normally to a magnetic
field of 0.1 T. If magnetic field strength is increased to 0.4 T, the force on the conductor will be
(a) 0.5 N (b) 2.0 N (c) 0.125 N (d) 1.0 N
