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`

How is the magnetic field inside a given solenoid made strong?
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.
The length of a solenoid is 0.4 m and the number turns in it is 500. A current of 3 amp, is flowing in it. In a small coil of radius 0.01 m and number of turns 10, a current of 0.4 amp. is flowing. The torque necessary to keep the axis of this coil perpendicular to the axis of solenoid will be ______.
