Q. The force experienced by a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is maximum when the angle between the velocity and magnetic field is: (2020)
A.
0 degrees
B.
90 degrees
C.
180 degrees
D.
45 degrees
Show solution
Solution

Q. What is the direction of the magnetic field inside a current-carrying circular loop? (2019)
A.
Out of the plane
B.
Into the plane
C.
Clockwise
D.
Counterclockwise

A.
Decreases the field strength
B.
Increases the field strength
C.
No effect
D.
Reverses the field direction
Show solution

Q. What is the magnetic moment of a circular loop of radius r carrying a current I? (2021)
A.
πr²I
B.
2πrI
C.
Ir²
D.
πrI
Show solution
Solution
The magnetic moment (μ) of a circular loop is given by μ = I × A, where A is the area of the loop. For a circular loop, A = πr², thus μ = I × πr² = πr²I.
Correct Answer: A — πr²I
