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.

A magnetic field of 100 G(1G=10-4T) is required, which is uniform in a region of linear dimension about 10 cm and area of cross-section about 10-3 m2 . The maximum current-carrying capacity of a given coil of wire is 15 A, and the number of turns per unit length that can be wound around a core is at most 1000 turns m-1. Suggest some appropriate design particulars of a solenoid for the required purpose. Assume the core is not ferromagnetic.

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.

Consider two parallel coaxial circular coils of equal radius R, and number of turns N, carrying equal currents in the same direction, and separated by a distance R. Show that the field on the axis around the midpoint between the coils is uniform over a distance that is small as compared to R, and is given by,

A toroid has a core (non-ferromagnetic) of inner radius 25 cm and outer radius 26 cm, around which 3500 turns of a wire are wound. If the current in the wire is 11 A, what is the magnetic field outside the toroid, inside the core of the toroid? Take, μ0 = 4π×10-7 H/m

A magnetic field that varies in magnitude from point to point but has a constant direction (east to west) is set up in a chamber. A charged particle enters the chamber and travels undeflected along a straight path with constant speed. What can you say about the initial velocity of the particle?

A charged particle enters an environment of a strong and non-uniform magnetic field varying from point to point both in magnitude and direction and comes out of it following a complicated trajectory. Would its final speed equal the initial speed if it suffered no collisions with the environment?
