Question:

A helium nucleus makes full rotation in a circle of radius 0.8 min 2 s. The value of'magnetic field B at the centre of the circle, will be $(\mu _0=$ permeability constant)

Updated On: Jul 5, 2022
  • $\frac {2 \times 10^{-19}}{\mu _0} $
  • $2 \times 10^{-19} \mu _0 $
  • $10^{-19} \mu _0 $
  • $\frac {10^{-19}}{\mu_0} $

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The magnetic field at the centre of a circle is given by $\hspace15mm B=\frac {\mu _0i}{2r} $ where, i is current and r the radius of circle. Also, $\hspace15mm i= \frac {q}{t}$ For helium nucleus, q = 2e $\therefore \hspace15mm i= \frac {2e}{t} $ So, $\hspace15mm B= \frac {\mu _0.2e}{2rt} $ $\hspace15mm = \frac {\mu _0 \times 2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{2 \times 0.8 \times 2} $ $\hspace15mm = 10^{-19}\mu _0 $

Magnetic Field

The magnetic field is a field created by moving electric charges. It is a force field that exerts a force on materials such as iron when they are placed in its vicinity. Magnetic fields do not require a medium to propagate; they can even propagate in a vacuum. Magnetic field also referred to as a vector field, describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, magnetic materials, and electric currents.

A magnetic field can be presented in two ways.

  • Magnetic Field Vector: The magnetic field is described mathematically as a vector field. This vector field can be plotted directly as a set of many vectors drawn on a grid. Each vector points in the direction that a compass would point and has length dependent on the strength of the magnetic force.
  • Magnetic Field Lines: An alternative way to represent the information contained within a vector field is with the use of field lines. Here we dispense with the grid pattern and connect the vectors with smooth lines.

Properties of Magnetic Field Lines

  • Magnetic field lines never cross each other
  • The density of the field lines indicates the strength of the field
  • Magnetic field lines always make closed-loops
  • Magnetic field lines always emerge or start from the north pole and terminate at the south pole.
