12th Class Physics Magnetism Question Bank MCQ - Moving Charges and Magnetism

  • question_answer
    Biot-Savart law indicates that the moving electrons (velocity \[\overrightarrow{v}\]) produce a magnetic field \[\overrightarrow{B}\] such that:    (NCERT EXEMPLAR)

    A) \[\overrightarrow{B}\bot \overrightarrow{v}\]                    

    B) \[\overrightarrow{B}\parallel \overrightarrow{v}\]

    C) it obeys inverse cube law.                            

    D) it is along the line joining the electron and point of observation.                                              

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a) \[\overrightarrow{B}\bot \overrightarrow{v}\] Magnetic field produced by charges moving with velocity \[\overrightarrow{v}\] at a distance r is \[\overrightarrow{B}=\left( \frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi } \right)\cdot q\frac{\overrightarrow{v}\times \widehat{r}}{{{r}^{2}}}\]. Therefore \[\overrightarrow{B}\bot \overrightarrow{v}\].
