NUMERICAL OF MAGNETIC EFFECTS OF CURRENT

1. A straight wire carries a current of 3 A. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic

field at a point 10 cm away from the wire.(Ans. 6 x 10-6 T)

2. At what distance from a long straight wire carrying a current of 12 A will the

magnetic field be equal to 3x 10-5 Wb m-2 (Ans 8x10-2 m)

3. A long straight wire carrying a current of 30 A is placed in an external uniform

magnetic field of 4.0x 10-4 T parallel to the current. Find the magnitude of the

resultant magnetic field at a point 2 cm away from wire (Ans. 5x 10-4 T)

4. What current must flow in an infinitely long straight wire to give a flux density of

3x10-5 T at 6 cm from the wire ? (Ans. 9 A)

5. A vertical wire in which a current is flowing produces a neutral point with the

earth's magnetic field at a distance of 10 cm from the wire. What is the current if

B = 1.8x 10 -4 T ?

6. Fig. shows two long, straight wires carrying electric currents of 10 A each in

opposite direc tion. The separation between the wires is 5.0 cm.Find the

magnetic field at a point P midway between the wires.

7. Two long parallel wires are placed at a distance of 16 cm from each other in air.

Each wire has a current of 4 A. Calculate the magnetic field at midpoint between

them when the current in them are (i) in the same direction and (ii) in opposite

directions. [Ans. (i) Zero (ii) 2× 10-5 T

8. Two infinitely long insulated wires are kept per pendicular to each other. They

carry currents I1= 2 A and I2 = 1.5 A. Find the magnitude and direction of the

magnetic field at P. (ii) If the direction of current is reversed in one of the wires,

what would be the magnitude of the field B?

other and carry currents and I, respectively. Find the magnitude of the magnetic
