The force per unit length between two parallel current carrying wires . The force is attractive when the current
2r
is in same direction and repulsive, when they are in opposite directions. The force between the wires depends on
the distance between them. An arrangement of two parallel wires is shown. We can determine the equilibrium
position. Then we displace upper wire by a small distance, keeping lower wire fixed. If the wire returns to or tries
to return to its equilibrium position, its equilibrium is stable. We can thus show that upper wire can execute linear
simple harmonic motion or not. The length of wire AB is large as compared to separation between the wires.

Comprehension-IV
In a thin rectangular metallic strip a constant current I flows along the positive x-direction, as shown in the figure.
The length, width and thickness of the strip are l, w and d, respectively.
A uniform magnetic field B is applied on the strip along the positive y-direction. Due to this, the charge carriers
experience a net deflection along the z-direction. This results in accumulation of charge carriers on the surface PQRS
and appearance of equal and opposite charges on the face opposite to PQRS. A potential difference along the z-direction
is thus developed. Charge accumulation continues until the magnetic force is balanced by the electric force. The current
is assumed to be uniformly distributed on the cross-section of the strip and carried by electrons.

Net magnetic flux through the spherical surface will be zero, because for incoming line flux is (–ve) and
for outgoing lines the flux is (+ve) and total incoming lines is equal to total outgoing lines.
4. STATEMENT-1 : A toroid produces uniform magnetic field.
and
STATEMENT-2 : A toroid is a simple solenoid bent into the shape of a hoop, so it is like an endless solenoid.
Sol. Answer (4)
The magnetic field inside the toroid may not has the same magnitude if its radius of cross-section is large.
Also magnetic field lines are closed loops. Hence statement (1) is wrong.
Toroid is also known as endless solenoid.
5. STATEMENT-1 : When two particles having same charge and same de-Broglie wavelength enter in a region

STATEMENT-2 : When a magnetic dipole is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field, it experiences a force
opposite to direction of external magnetic field at its centre.
Sol. Answer (3)
The force acting on each small part of length (dl) of the loop by the magnetic field is dF i dl B .
Thus dF has two components one component is in the vertically upward direction which balances the weight
of the loop. The horizontal component of dF will cancel out.

Hence the loop can remain stationary. The force acting on a magnetic dipole is in different direction on its

7. STATEMENT-1 : In a region of space, both electric and magnetic field act in same direction. When a charged
particle is projected parallel to fields, it moves undeviated.
and
STATEMENT-2 : Here, net force on the particle is not zero.

8. STATEMENT-1 : Two parallel wires carrying current in same direction attract each other, whereas two proton
beams moving parallel to each other repel each other.
and
STATEMENT-2 : Wire carrying current is electrically neutral, therefore it is experiencing only magnetic attraction
while the electric force of repulsion between protons is more than the magnetic attraction.
Sol. Answer (1)
Between two wires carrying current in the same direction only magnetic force is the attractive force but
between two beams of proton, electrostatic repulsion is greater than the magnetic field force attraction.
Statement (1) is correct.
Statement (2) is also correct.
9. STATEMENT-1 : Electrostatic field lines are discontinuous at the surface of a conductor.
and
STATEMENT-2 : Magnetic field lines produced by permanent magnets are never discontinuous.
Sol. Answer (2)
Since the electric field inside the material of a metallic conductor is zero if it does not carry current.
The electric field becomes discontinuous at the surface. But magnetic field lines always form a closed
loop. Therefore it can never be discontinuous.
