A compass needle free to turn in a horizontal plane is placed at the centre of circular coil of 30 turns and radius 12 cm. The coil is in a vertical plane making an angle of 45° with the magnetic meridian. When the current in the coil is 0·35 A, the needle points west to east. Determine the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at the location.
Next, the current in the coil is reversed and the coil is rotated about its vertical axis by an angle of 90° in the anti clockwise sense looking from above. Predict the direction of the needle. Take the magnetic declination at the places to be zero.

For a circular coil of radius R and N turns carrying current I; the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point on its axis at a distance x from its centre is given by,
B=μ0IR2N2(X2+R2)32
Show that this reduces to the familiar result for the field at the centre of the coil.

The figure a shows two wires, each carrying a current. The wire 1 consists of a circular arc of radius R and two radial lengths; it carries current i1=2.0 A in the direction indicated. The wire 2 is long and straight; it carries a current i2 that can be varied, and it is at a distance of R2 from the Centre of the arc. The net magnetic field B due to the two currents is measured at the Centre of curvature of the arc. Figure b is a plot of the component of B in the direction perpendicular to the figure as a function of current i2. What is the angle subtended by the arc?

Two concentric circular coils X and Y of radii 16 cm and 10 cm, respectively, lie in the same vertical plane containing the north to south direction. Coil X has 20 turns and carries a current of 16 A; coil Y has 25 turns and carries a current of 18 A. The sense of the current in X is anticlockwise, and clockwise in Y, for an observer looking at the coils facing west. Give the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field due to the coils at their centre.
