NEET 2026 (Phase 1) · PhysicsLoop centre fieldPrevious Year Question

A 100-turn closely wound circular coil of radius 5 cm has a magnetic field of 3.14 × 10⁻³ T at its centre. The current flowing through the coil, and the magnitude of the magnetic moment of this coil are, respectively: (Take μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ T m/A)

Answer: (D) 2.5 A, 2 A m². Answer: (D) Solution: Field at centre: B = μ₀ N I / (2R).

  1. A.2 A, 10 A m²
  2. B.2.5 A, 20 A m²
  3. C.2 A, 4 A m²
  4. D.2.5 A, 2 A m²

Correct Answer

(D) 2.5 A, 2 A m²

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (D) Solution: Field at centre: B = μ₀ N I / (2R). I = 2RB / (μ₀ N) = (2 × 0.05 × 3.14 × 10⁻³) / (4π × 10⁻⁷ × 100) I = (3.14 × 10⁻⁴) / (1.256 × 10⁻⁴) = 2.5 A. Magnetic moment M = N I A = N I (π R²) = 100 × 2.5 × 3.14 × (0.05)² M = 250 × 3.14 × 2.5 × 10⁻³ ≈ 2 A m².

PhysA 2 A current is flowing through two different small circular copper coils having radii ratio 1 : 2. The ratio of their respective magnetic moments will bePhysA tightly wound 100 turns coil of radius 10 cm carries a current of 7 A. The magnitude of the magnetic field at the centre of the coil is (Take permeability of free space as 4π × 10⁻⁷ SI units):PhysA very long conducting wire is bent in a semi-circular shape from A to B as shown in figure.

The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as:
