COMEDK · Physics · 21. Magnetic Effects of Current

An electric current \(I\) enters and leaves a uniform circular wire of radius \(r\) through diametrically opposite points. A charged particle \(q\) moves along the axis of circular wire passes through its centre with speed \(v\). The magnetic force on the particle when it passes through the centre has a magnitude

  1. A \(\dfrac{q v \mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}\)
  2. B \(q v \dfrac{\mu_0 I}{\pi r}\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{q \nu \mu_0 I}{r}\)
  4. D 0

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The circular wire is divided into two semi-circular segments by the diametrically opposite points where the current enters and leaves. Let the current \(I\) split into \(I_1\) and \(I_2\) through the two semi-circular paths. Since the wire is uniform, the resistance of each…
