प्रश्न
A wire AB is carrying a steady current of 10 A and is lying on the table. Another wire CD carrying 6 A is held directly above AB at a height of 2 mm. Find the mass per unit length of the wire CD so that it remains suspended at its position when left free. Give the direction of the current flowing in CD with respect to that in AB. [Take the value of g = 10 ms−2]

उत्तर
Force per unit length between the current carrying wires is given as:
`F = (μ_0)/(4pi) (2I_1I_2)/r `,where I1 = current in wire AB = 10 A and I2 = current in wire CD = 6 A`
r = distance between wires = 2 mm = 2 × 10-3 m.
Let m be the mass per unit length of wire CD. As the force balances the weight of the wire
`therefore (μ_0)/(4pi) (2I_1I_2)/r = mg => 10^-7 xx (2xx10xx6)/(2xx10^-3) = m xx 10`
`therefore m = 10^-7 xx (2 xx 10 xx xx 6)/(2 xx 10^-3) xx 1/10 = 6 xx 10^-4 kg \ m^-1`

Derive an expression for the mutual inductance of two long co-axial solenoids of same length wound one over the other,
Define mutual inductance between two long coaxial solenoids. Find out the expression for the mutual inductance of inner solenoid of length l having the radius r1 and the number of turns n1 per unit length due to the second outer solenoid of same length and r2 number of turns per unit length.
In what respect is a toroid different from a solenoid?
The magnetic field inside a tightly wound, long solenoid is B = µ0 ni. It suggests that the field does not depend on the total length of the solenoid, and hence if we add more loops at the ends of a solenoid the field should not increase. Explain qualitatively why the extra-added loops do not have a considerable effect on the field inside the solenoid.
A tightly-wound solenoid of radius a and length l has n turns per unit length. It carries an electric current i. Consider a length dx of the solenoid at a distance x from one end. This contains n dx turns and may be approximated as a circular current i n dx. (a) Write the magnetic field at the centre of the solenoid due to this circular current. Integrate this expression under proper limits to find the magnetic field at the centre of the solenoid. (b) verify that if l >> a, the field tends to B = µ0ni and if a >> l, the field tends to `B =(mu_0nil)/(2a)` . Interpret these results.
