JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

Two coaxial solenoids of different radii carry current \(I\) in the same direction. Let \(\;{\overrightarrow {\;F} _1}\) be the magnetic force on the inner solenoid due to the outer one and \(\;{\overrightarrow {\;F} _2}\) be the magnetic force on the outer solenoid due to the inner one. Then

  1. A \(\;\overrightarrow {{F_1}} \) is radially inwards and \(\overrightarrow {{F_2}} \) is radially outwards
  2. B \(\;\overrightarrow {{F_1}} \) is radially inwards and \(\overrightarrow {\;{F_2}} \)\(=0\)
  3. C \(\overrightarrow {{F_1}} \) is radially outwards and \(\overrightarrow {\;{F_2}} =0\)
  4. D \(\overrightarrow {{F_1}}  =\overrightarrow {\;{F_2}} =0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\overrightarrow {{F_1}}  =\overrightarrow {\;{F_2}} =0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(Both solenoids are taken to be ideal in nature.) Both wires will attract each other, but net force on each wire will be zero. Concept: Two current carrying elements attract each other if direction of current is same. \(\overrightarrow {{F_1}} =\overrightarrow {\;{F_2}} =0\)
