Magnetic Field Due to a Current Element, Biot-Savart Law
Important Questions on Magnetic Field Due to a Current Element, Biot-Savart Law
An electron and a positron are released from and respectively, in a uniform magnetic field , each with an equal momentum of magnitude . Under what conditions on the direction of momentum will the orbits be non-intersecting circles?

A turn rectangular coil (in plane) is hung from one arm of a balance (Fig). A mass is added to the other arm to balance the weight of the coil. A current passes through the coil and a constant magnetic field of acting inward (in xz plane) is switched on such that only arm of length lies in the field. How much additional mass must be added to regain the balance?

A current carrying circular loop of radius is placed in the plane with centre at the origin. Half of the loop with is now bent so that it now lies in the plane.

Biot-Savart law indicates that the moving electrons (velocity ) produce a magnetic field such that
