Q21 jee_main_2025_04_april_evening Motion in a Magnetic Field

A particle of charge 1.6 µC and mass 16 µg is present in a strong magnetic field of 6.28 T. The particle is then fired perpendicular to magnetic field. The time required for the particle to return to original location for the first time is ________ s. (Take

π=3.14

)

Numerical Answer. Answer: 0 to 0

Solution

Related Formula

Time Period of circular motion in a magnetic field:

T = (2π m)/(qB)

Core Logic

Convert given parameter values into SI baseline metrics:

q = 1.6 = 1.6 \times 10⁻⁶ C

m = 16 = 16 \times 10⁻⁹ kg

B = 6.28 T = 2π T

Step 1: Solve for Time Period

T = 2π \times 16 \times 10⁻⁹1.6 \times 10⁻⁶ \times 6.28 = 6.28 \times 16 \times 10⁻⁹1.6 \times 10⁻⁶ \times 6.28

T = 16 \times 10⁻⁹1.6 \times 10⁻⁶ = 10 \times 10⁻³ = 0.01 seconds

Rounding to the nearest integer as required for standard integer formatting gives 0.

Pattern Recognition

Check your prefixes. Micrograms ($\mu\text{g}$) conversion introduces a factor of $10⁻⁹ kg$ $10^{-9}\text{ kg}$, not $10⁻⁶$ $10^{-6}$. If nearest integer is requested, $0.01 s$ $0.01\text{ s}$ rounds down cleanly to 0.

Q3 jee_main_2025_24_jan_evening Magnetic Force on a Charge

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): An electron in a certain region of uniform magnetic field is moving with constant velocity in a straight line path. Reason (R): The magnetic field in that region is along the direction of velocity of the electron. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A. $(A)$ $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ $(R)$ is true
B. Both $(A)$ $(A)$ and $(R)$ $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$ $(A)$
C. Both $(A)$ $(A)$ and $(R)$ $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ $(R)$ is NOT the correct explanation of $(A)$ $(A)$
D. $(A)$ $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ $(R)$ is false

Solution

Related Formula

F = q( v \times B)

Core Logic

For a particle to move with a constant velocity in a straight line inside a magnetic field alone, the net magnetic force must be zero:

F = 0 v ∥ B

This means the angle $θ$ $\theta$ between the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector is either $0°$ $0^{\circ}$ or $180°$ $180^{\circ}$. Thus, if the magnetic field is along the direction of velocity, the force is zero, allowing unaccelerated straight-line motion. Both Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason correctly explains the Assertion.

Pattern Recognition

Magnetic field cannot change the speed of a charged particle, but it changes direction unless $v$ $\vec{v}$ is parallel or anti-parallel to $B$ $\vec{B}$, in which case the magnetic force vanishes entirely.

Q5 jee_main_2025_24_jan_evening Ampere's Circuital Law

A long straight wire of a circular cross-section with radius 'a' carries a steady current I. The current I is uniformly distributed across this cross-section. The plot of magnitude of magnetic field B with distance r from the centre of the wire is given by:

A. Graph (1)
B. Graph (2)
C. Graph (3)
D. Graph (4)

Solution

Related Formula

Bᵢₙ = (μ₀ I r)/(2π a²) Bᵢₙ \propto r

Bout = (μ₀ I)/(2π r) Bout \propto (1)/(r)

Core Logic

Inside the wire ( $r < a$ $r < a$), the magnetic field grows linearly with distance $r$ $r$ from the axis. At the surface ( $r = a$ $r = a$), it reaches its maximum value $B = (μ₀ I)/(2π a)$ $B_{\max} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi a}$. Outside the wire ( $r > a$ $r > a$), it decays inversely with $r$ $r$. This combination matches the curve shown in Graph (1).

Q11 jee_main_2025_24_jan_evening Ampere's Circuital Law

N equally spaced charges each of value q, are placed on a circle of radius R. The circle rotates about its axis with an angular velocity

Rotating charge ring with Amperian loops Q11 — The figure illustrates a rotating ring of charges with two distinct Amperian paths A and B intersecting the ring path.

. A bigger Amperian loop B encloses the whole circle where as a smaller Amperian loop A encloses a small segment. The difference between enclosed currents,

IA - IB

, for the given Amperian loops is

A. $N²2πqω$ $\frac{N^{2}}{2\pi}q\omega$
B. $(2π)/(N)qω$ $\frac{2\pi}{N}q\omega$
C. $(N)/(2π)qω$ $\frac{N}{2\pi}q\omega$
D. $(N)/(π)qω$ $\frac{N}{\pi}q\omega$

Solution

Related Formula

I = (q)/(T) = (qω)/(2π)

Core Logic

The loop A encloses one of the moving point charges as it moves past, giving a current contribution localized to that cross-sectional segment intersection:

IA = (Nq)/(((2π)/(ω))) = (Nqω)/(2π)

Loop B encloses the entire loop surface coplanar or enclosing the ring structure fully without clipping individual passing current tracks perpendicularly in the same directional fashion, resulting in zero net cross-surface passing enclosed current:

$IB = 0$ $I_B = 0$

Therefore, the difference is: $IA - IB = (Nqω)/(2π)$ $$I_A - I_B = \frac{Nq\omega}{2\pi}$$

Enclosed current lines interpretation schematic Q11 — The figure illustrates a rotating ring of charges with two distinct Amperian paths A and B intersecting the ring path.

Pattern Recognition

A current loop has net passing current across a large overarching bounding box equal to zero if it doesn't cross the boundary surfaces symmetrically.

Numerical Answer. Answer: 250 to 250

Solution

Related Formula

Time period of a revolving charge in a magnetic field:

T = (2π m)/(qB)

Magnetic field inside a long solenoid: $B = μ₀ n I$ $B = \mu_0 n I$

Core Logic

Combining the expressions to isolate $n$ $n$ (turns per meter):

T = (2π m)/(q(μ₀ n I))

Substituting the given constants:

75 \times 10⁻⁹ = 2π \times 9 \times 10⁻³¹1.6 \times 10⁻¹⁹ \times 4π \times 10⁻⁷ \times n \times 1.5

Simplifying terms:

75 \times 10⁻⁹ = 18π \times 10⁻³¹9.6π \times 10⁻²⁶ \times n = 1.875 \times 10⁻⁵n

n = 1.875 \times 10⁻⁵75 \times 10⁻⁹ = 250

Pattern Recognition

The circular motion time period depends exclusively on the field magnitude $B$ $B$, completely independent of the orbit's velocity or radius.
