1. A particle of mass ‘m’ and charge ‘q’ moving with velocity ‘v’ enters the region of uniform
magnetic field at right angle to the direction of its motion. How does its kinetic energy get
affected?
2. An electron in an atom revolves round the nucleus in an orbit of radius r with
frequency v. Write the expression for the magnetic moment of the electron.
3. Write the expression for the magnetic force acting on a charged particle moving with velocity
in the presence of magnetic field B.
4. An electron does not suffer any deflection while passing through a region of uniform
magnetic field. What is the direction of the magnetic field?
5. Magnetic field lines can be entirely confined within the core of a toroid, but not within
a straight solenoid. Why?
6. Show the variation of resistivity with temperature for a typical semiconductor
7. Use Biot-Savart law to derive the expression for the magnetic field due to a circular coil of
radius R having N turns at a point on the axis at a distance ‘x’ from its centre. Draw the magnetic
field lines due to this coil.
8. A current ‘I’ enters a uniform circular loop of radius ‘R’ at point M and flows out at N as
shown in the figure. Obtain the net magnetic field at the centre of the loop
9. .State Ampere’s circuital law. Use this law to obtain the expression for the magnetic field

paths in the field and justify your answer.
12a) A point charge q moving with speed v enters a uniform magnetic field B that is

(b) Show with the help of a diagram how the force between the two conductors would
change when the currents in them flow in the opposite directions.
14. Deduce the expression for the torque acting on a planar loop of area A and
