MAGNETISM AND ELECTROMAGNETISM

1. The force between two magnets is 0.004N when they are 50 cm apart. The pole strength of one magnet is four times the pole
strength of the other magnet. Find the pole strength of each magnet.
2. An N- pole of 100 A-m pole strength and an S-pole with 50 A-m pole strength are 50 cm apart. Determine the magnetic induction
midway between the two magnets.
3. A solenoid with air core has a magnetic induction of 0.08Weber/m2 at its center when a current of 40A flows through the wires
having 500 turns. How long is the solenoid?
4. Using Amperes or Bio-Savarts Law (by integral calculus), determine the net magnetic induction
at point P in the field of a current loop with I = 5 A. Wires a & b are quarter circular loop with
a = 20 cm and b = 40 cm
5. A long straight wire carries a current of 10A. An electron travels with a velocity of 4x10 6 cm/sec
parallel to the wire, 20 cm from it and in the same direction as the current. What force does the
magnetic field of the current exert on the moving electron? Find the magnetic induction along the
path of electron.

6. A circular coil of 100 turns has a radius of 0.2m and carries a current of 10A. The coil is in a field where the
magnetic induction is 0.85 W/m2. What is the max torque on the coil?

7. Three parallel straight wires are carrying current and arranged as shown. I 1
I3 = 6 A
& I2 are 4 cm apart while I1 & I3 are separated by 3 cm. What is the net
magnetic induction at the center of wire I1? What is the magnitude and
direction of the resultant magnetic force per unit length on wire I 1 ? I2 = 10 A
I1 = 20 A

8. Two wires (see Figure 2 ) are parallel to the z-axis and are carrying currents
. of I1 = 20.0 A in the _z direction and I2 = 40.0 A in the z direction. Wire 1 +Y- axis
is located at (0cm, 20 cm) and wire 2 is located at (40cm, 20 cm).Find the
strength of magnetic field midway between the wires.If a third wire, parallel
to the first two and carrying a current of 30.0 A in the z direction, is located x x x
I2 = 40A
at (30cm, 20cm), find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force I1 = 20A I3 = 10A
I3=30A
per unit length on it due to the first two wires. -Z axis

9. A straight horizontal rod carries a current of 40 A from west to east in a +X- axis
region between the poles of a large magnet. In this region, there is a +Z - axis ( 40 cm, 20 cm)
magnetic field in the direction 45o NE with a magnitude of 1.5 Tesla. Find Figure 2
the magnitude and direction of the force on a 2.5 m length of the rod.

10. A rectangular wire loop in Figure F has a weight of 0.2 N/ cm of length.

When a uniform magnetic field parallel to yz plane of 0.05 tesla is applied to
the loop, it swings up so that its plane makes an angle of 30 o with the yz
plane. Find the (a). torque due to the weight of the loop, and (b) current in
the loop.
