COMEDK · Physics · 20. Magnetic Properties of Matter

A vertical circular coil of radius \(0.1 \mathrm{~m}\) and having \(10\) turns carries a steady current. When the plane of the coil is normal to the magnetic meridian, a neutral point is observed at the centre of the coil. If \(B_{H}=0.314 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\), the current in the coil is

  1. A \(0.5 \mathrm{~A}\)
  2. B \(0.25 \mathrm{~A}\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{~A}\)
  4. D \(1 \mathrm{~A}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.5 \mathrm{~A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(R=0.1 \mathrm{~m}, N=10, B_{H}=0.314 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\) For neutral point, the magnetic field at the centre of coil carrying current is equal to the horizontal component of earth's field.…
