Consider a long, straight wire of cross-sectional area A carrying a current i. Let there be n free electrons per unit volume. An observer places himself on a trolley moving in the direction opposite to the current with a speed  \[v = \frac{i}{\text{nAe}}\] and separation from the wire by a distance r. The magnetic field seen by the observer is very nearly  

A short magnet is moved along the axis of a conducting loop. Show that the loop repels the magnet if the magnet is approaching the loop and attracts the magnet if it is going away from the loop.

The battery discussed in the previous question is suddenly disconnected. Is a current induced in the other loop? If yes, when does it start and when does it end? Do the loops attract each other or repel?

A pivoted aluminium bar falls much more slowly through a small region containing a magnetic field than a similar bar of an insulating material. Explain.

Consider the situation shown in figure. If the switch is closed and after some time it is opened again, the closed loop will show ____________ .

A bar magnet is released from rest along the axis of a very long, vertical copper tube. After some time the magnet ____________ .

A tangent galvanometer shows a deflection of 45° when 10 mA of current is passed through it. If the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is `B_H = 3.6 xx 10^-5  "T"` and radius of the coil is 10 cm, find the number of turns in the coil.

Two circular loops of equal radii are placed coaxially at some separation. The first is cut and a battery is inserted in between to drive a current in it. The current changes slightly because of the variation in resistance with temperature. During this period, the two loops _______________ .

A bar magnet is moved along the axis of a copper ring placed far away from the magnet. Looking from the side of the magnet, an anticlockwise current is found to be induced in the ring. Which of the following may be true?
(a) The south pole faces the ring and the magnet moves towards it.
(b) The north pole faces the ring and the magnet moves towards it.
(c) The south pole faces the ring and the magnet moves away from it.
(d) The north pole faces the ring and the magnet moves away from it.

When an AC source is connected to a capacitor, there is a steady-state current in the circuit. Does it mean that the charges jump from one plate to the other to complete the circuit?

A current i₁ = i₀ sin ωt passes through a resistor of resistance R. How much thermal energy is produced in one time period? A current i₂ = −i₀ sin ωt passes through the resistor. How much thermal energy is produced in one time period? If i₁ and i₂ both pass through the resistor simultaneously, how much thermal energy is produced? Is the principle of superposition obeyed in this case?

Is energy produced when a transformer steps up the voltage?

A transformer is designed to convert an AC voltage of 220 V to an AC voltage of 12 V. If the input terminals are connected to a DC voltage of 220 V, the transformer usually burns. Explain.

A capacitor acts as an infinite resistance for ______.

An AC source producing emf ε = ε₀ [cos (100 π s⁻¹)t + cos (500 π s⁻¹)t] is connected in series with a capacitor and a resistor. The steady-state current in the circuit is found to be i = i₁ cos [(100 π s⁻¹)t + φ₁) + i₂ cos [(500π s⁻¹)t + ϕ₂]. So,
