Q91 / 120 · VITEEE 2011 · Physics

A particle carrying a charge to 100 times the charge on an electron is rotating per second in a circular path of radius $0.8 \mathrm{~m}$. The value of the magnetic field produced at the centre will be $\left(\mu_{0}=\right.$ permeabil ity for vacuum $)$

  • A
    $\frac{10^{-7}}{\mu_{0}}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $10^{-17} \mu_{0}$
  • C
    $10^{-6} \mu_{0}$
  • D
    $10^{-7} \mu_{0}$

Solution

Current, i $=\frac{q}{t}=100 \times \mathrm{e}$ $$ \begin{array}{l} \text { Magnetic field, } \mathrm{B}_{\text {centre }}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \cdot \frac{2 \pi i}{r} \\ =\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \cdot \frac{2 \pi \times 100 e}{r} \\ \frac{\mu_{0} \times 200 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{4 \times 0.8}=10^{-17} \mu_{0} \end{array} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
