CBSE Class 12-science Answered

Force acting on a charged particle when it moves in a combined electric and magnetic field is known as Lorentz force. (a) A charged particle is released from rest in a region of steady and uniform electric and magnetic fields; which are parallel to each other. What will be the nature of the path followed by the charged particle? Explain your answer. (b) A rectangular loop carrying a steady current is placed in a uniform magnetic field. Obtain the expression for the torque acting on the loop.

  A circular loop of radius a is placed in a diverging magnetic field B such that the angle between the normal to the plane of the loop and field anywhere on the loop is θ. Also, the magnetic field present is such that the lines cut the loop at 900. Derive an expression for the net force exerted by the field on the loop when a current i is made to flow through the loop.
