12th Class Physics Magnetism Question Bank MCQ - Magnetism and Matter

  • question_answer
    A toroid of n turns, mean radius R and cross-sectional radius a carries current l. It is placed on a horizontal table taken as x-y plane. Its magnetic moment \[\overrightarrow{M}\]:                                                        (NCERT EXEMPLAR)

    A) is non-zero and points in the z-direction by symmetry.

    B)             points along the axis of the toroid \[(\overrightarrow{M}=M\widehat{\phi })\]

    C)             is zero, otherwise there would be a field falling as \[\frac{1}{{{r}^{3}}}\] at large distances outside the toroid.                      

    D)             is pointing radially outwards.                           

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    (c) is zero, otherwise there would be a field falling as \[\frac{1}{{{r}^{3}}}\] at large distances outside the toroid.                         In a toroid magnetic field is only confined inside the body of toroid in the form of concentric magnetic lines of force and outside the toroid magnetic field is zero.
