Answer Key

Section A — Multiple Choice Questions
  1. (B) tesla
  2. (B) concentric circles
  3. (B) 90 degrees
  4. (B) $\frac{\mu_0 N I}{2R}$
  5. (B) $4\pi\times10^{-7}$ T m/A
Section B — Short Answer (2 marks)
  1. $d\vec{B}=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{I\,d\vec{l}\times\hat{r}}{r^2}$; $d\vec{B}$ is perpendicular to the plane of $d\vec{l}$ and $\hat{r}$.
  2. Solenoid: $B=\mu_0 n I$; toroid: $B=\frac{\mu_0 N I}{2\pi r}$.
  3. $\oint\vec{B}\cdot d\vec{l}=\mu_0 I_{enc}$ for any closed loop.
Section C — Short Answer (3 marks)
  1. $B=\frac{\mu_0 N I}{2R}=\frac{(4\pi\times10^{-7})(100)(1)}{0.2}=6.28\times10^{-4}$ T.
  2. By symmetry $B(2\pi a)=\mu_0 I$, giving $B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi a}$.
Section D — Long Answer (5 marks)
  1. $B=\frac{\mu_0 I R^2}{2(R^2+x^2)^{3/2}}$ on the axis; at $x=0$, $B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2R}$.
