CBSE ASSIGNMENT-01
CLASS-XII PHYSICS (Magnetic effects of current)
Q1. State Biot-Savart’s law, giving the mathematical expression for it. Express it in vector
form. [1]
Q2. Derive an expression for magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil of n-turns carrying
current I. [2]
Q3. Depict the direction of the magnetic field lines due to a circular current carrying loop. [1]
Q4. Use Biot-Savart’s law to derive the expression for the magnetic field on the axis of a
current carrying circular loop of radius R. [3]
Q5. Two very small identical circular loops, (1) and (2) carrying currents I are placed
vertically (w.r.t. the plane of the paper) with their geometrical axes perpendicular to each
other as shown in the figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field
produced at the point O. [2]
Q6. A straight wire of length L is bent into a semicircular loop. Use Biot-Savart’s law to
deduce an expression for the magnetic field at its centre due to the current I passing through
it. [2]
Q7. Find the ratio of the magnitudes of the magnetic field of a circular coil of radius ‘a’
carrying current I at the centre and at an axial point a 3 away from the centre. [2]
Q8. Draw the magnetic field lines due to circular wire carrying current I. [1]
Q9. Two identical coils P and Q each of radius R are lying in perpendicular planes such that
they have a common centre. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the
common centre of the two coils, if they carry currents equal to I and 3I respectively. [2]
Q10. A straight wire of mass 200g and length 1.5 m carries a current of 2 A. It is suspended
in mid air by a uniform magnetic field B. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field? [2]
