i.e.  $dB\text{ }\propto \text{ }\frac{I\text{ }dl\text{ }\sin \theta }{{{r}^{2}}}$

Or, $dB\text{  =  }\frac{K\text{ }I\text{ }dl\text{ }\sin \theta }{{{r}^{2}}}$

 Where K is proportionality constant & its value is found to be $\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }$

$$$dB\text{  = }\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }\text{ }\frac{\text{ }I\text{ }dl\text{ }\sin \theta }{{{r}^{2}}}$

where ${{\mu }_{0}}$ is magnetic permeability of free of space and its value in SI system is $4\pi \times {{10}^{-7}}H{{m}^{-1}}$

$\tau $ = BINA cos$\theta $

Where, 

$\tau $ = Torque

B = Magnetic field

I = current in the coil

At equilibrium condition, 

Deflecting / applied torque = Restoring torque

${{\tau }_{d}}$ = ${{\tau }_{R}}$

or, BINA  =  C$\theta $

where, $\theta $ = deflection in galvanometer

C = torsion constant

(i) Current sensitivity

It is defined as the deflection per unit current. 

We have, 

C. $\theta $ =  BINA

$\frac{\theta }{I}$  = $\frac{BNA}{C}$

$\therefore $ current sensitivity, SI  = $\frac{BNA}{C}$

(ii) Voltage sensitivity

It is defined as the deflection per unit potential difference.

We have,

C.$\theta $ =  BINA

$\frac{\theta }{I}$  = $\frac{BNA}{C}$

$\frac{\theta }{IR}$  = $\frac{BNA}{CR}$

$\frac{\theta }{V}$  = $\frac{BNA}{CR}$

$\therefore $ Voltage sensitivity, SV = $\frac{BNA}{CR}$

Q.28. The coil of a moving coil galvanometer has 50 turns and its resistance is 10$\Omega $. It is replaced by a coil having 100 turns and resistance 50$\Omega $. Find the factor by which the current and voltage sensitivities change.

Solution:

Here,

Case-1:

Number of turns, N1 = 50 turns

Resistance of coil of galvanometer, R1 = 10$\Omega $

Case-2:

Number of turns, N2 = 100 turns

Resistance of coil of galvanometer, R2 = 50$\Omega $

(i) Factor by which current sensitivity change, $\frac{{{({{S}_{I}})}_{2}}}{{{({{S}_{I}})}_{1}}}$= ?

(ii) Factor by which voltage sensitivity change, $\frac{{{({{S}_{V}})}_{2}}}{{{({{S}_{V}})}_{1}}}$= ?

For current sensitivity,

Case-1:

(SI)1 = ${{\left( \frac{\theta }{I} \right)}_{1}}$= $\frac{BI{{N}_{1}}A\,cos\theta }{C}$…… (i)

Case-2:

(SI)2 = ${{\left( \frac{\theta }{I} \right)}_{2}}$= $\frac{BI{{N}_{2}}A\,cos\theta }{C}$…… (ii)

Dividing equation (ii) by (i), we get

$\frac{{{({{S}_{I}})}_{2}}}{{{({{S}_{I}})}_{1}}}$ = $\frac{{{N}_{2}}}{{{N}_{1}}}$= $\frac{100}{50}$= 2

For voltage sensitivity,

Case-1:

(Sv)1 = ${{\left( \frac{\theta }{V} \right)}_{1}}$= $\frac{BI{{N}_{1}}A\,cos\theta }{C{{R}_{1}}}$…… (iii)

Case-2:

(Sv)2 = ${{\left( \frac{\theta }{V} \right)}_{2}}$= $\frac{BIN{}_{2}Acos\theta }{C{{R}_{2}}}$…… (iv)

Dividing equation (iv) by (iii), we get

$\frac{{{({{S}_{V}})}_{2}}}{{{({{S}_{V}})}_{1}}}$= $\frac{{{N}_{2}}}{{{R}_{2}}}$×$\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{N}_{1}}}$ 

Or, $\frac{{{({{S}_{V}})}_{2}}}{{{({{S}_{V}})}_{1}}}$= $\frac{100}{50}$×$\frac{10}{50}$

$\therefore $  $\frac{{{({{S}_{V}})}_{2}}}{{{({{S}_{V}})}_{1}}}$= $\frac{2}{5}$ 

Q.29. Two galvanometers which are otherwise identical are fitted with different coils. One has a coil of 50 turns and resistance 10$\Omega $ while the other has 500 turns and a resistance of 600$\Omega $. What is the ratio of the deflection when each is connected in turns to a cell of emf 25 V and internal resistance 50$\Omega $ ?

Solution:

Here,

Case-1:

Number of turns, N1 = 50 turns

Resistance of coil of galvanometer, R1 = 10$\Omega $

Case-2:

Number of turns, N2 = 500 turns

Resistance of coil of galvanometer, R2 = 600$\Omega $

Ratio of deflection, $\frac{{{\theta }_{1}}}{{{\theta }_{2}}}$= ?

Emf, E = 25 V

Internal resistance of the cell, r = 50$\Omega $

Magnetic effect of current class 12 Numerical

Using circuit formula, E = I (R + r)

Case-1,

E = I1 (R1 + r)

Or, I1 = $\frac{E}{{{R}_{1}}+r}$ 

Or, I1 = $\frac{25}{10+50}$

Or, I1 = $\frac{5}{12}$A

Case-2,

E = I2 (R2 + r)

Or, I2 = $\frac{E}{{{R}_{2}}+r}$

Or, I2 = $\frac{25}{600+50}$

Or, I2 = $\frac{1}{26}$A

Now, we know that

Restoring torque = Applied (deflecting) torque

From case-1, C${{\theta }_{1}}$ = B I1N1A cos$\theta $ ………..(i)

From case-2, C${{\theta }_{2}}$ = B I2N2A cos$\theta $ ………..(ii)

Dividing equation (i) by (ii)

$\frac{{{\theta }_{1}}}{{{\theta }_{2}}}$= $\frac{{{I}_{1}}{{N}_{1}}}{{{I}_{2}}{{N}_{2}}}$ 

Or,   $\frac{{{\theta }_{1}}}{{{\theta }_{2}}}$= $\frac{5}{12}$×26×$\frac{50}{500}$

$\therefore $   $\frac{{{\theta }_{1}}}{{{\theta }_{2}}}$= $\frac{13}{12}$

Q.30. A flat silver strip of width 1.5 cm and thickness 1.5 mm carries a current of 150 A. A magnetic field of 2 T is applied perpendicular to the flat face of the strip. The emf developed across the width of the strip is measured to be 17.9 $\mu $V. Calculate the free electron density in the silver.

 Solution:

Here,

Width, b = 1.5 cm = 1.5 ×10–2 m

Thickness, t = 1.5 mm = 1.5 ×10–3 m

Current, I = 150 A

Magnetic field, B = 2 T

Hall voltage, VH = 17.9 $\mu $V = 17.9×10–6 V

Free electron density, n = ?
C:\Users\user\Downloads\CamScanner 04-01-2021 21.56.jpg

We know,

Hall voltage, V=$\frac{{{B}_{Z}}I{}_{X}}{net}$

Or, n = $\frac{{{B}_{Z}}{{I}_{X}}}{{{V}_{H}}et}$

Or, n = $\frac{2\times 150}{17.9\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times 1.5\times {{10}^{-3}}}$

$\therefore $ Free electron density, n = 6.98×1028 m–3

Q.31. A slab of copper 2 mm thick and 1.50 cm wide, is placed in a uniform magnetic field of flux density 0.40 T, so that the maximum passes through the slab. When a current of 75 A flows through it, a potential difference of 0.81 $\mu $V is developed between the edges of the slab. Find the concentration of the mobile electrons in copper.

Solution:

Here,

Thickness, t = 2 mm = 2 ×10–3 m

Width, b = 1.5 cm = 1.5 ×10–2 m

Magnetic field, B = 0.4 T

Current, I = 75 A

Hall voltage, VH = 0.81 $\mu $V = 0.81×10–6 V

Concentration of mobile electrons, n = ?

C:\Users\user\Downloads\CamScanner 04-01-2021 21.56.jpg

We know,

Hall voltage, V= $\frac{{{B}_{Z}}I{}_{X}}{net}$

Or, n = $\frac{{{B}_{Z}}{{I}_{X}}}{{{V}_{H}}et}$

Or, n = $\frac{0.4\times 75}{0.81\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times 2\times {{10}^{-3}}}$

$\therefore $ Concentration of mobile electrons, n = 1.16×1029 m–3

Q.32. A slice of indium antimonide is 2.5 mm thick and carries a current of 150 mA. A magnetic field of flux density 0.5 T, correctly applied, produces a maximum Hall Voltage of 8.75 mV between the edges of the slice. Calculate the number of free charge carriers per unit volume assuming that each has a charge of 1.6×10–19 C. 

Solution:

Here,

Thickness, t = 2.5 mm = 2.5 ×10–3 m

Current, I = 150 mA = 150 ×10–3 A

Magnetic field, B = 0.5 T

Hall voltage, VH = 8.75 mV = 8.75×10–3 V

Number of free electrons per unit volume, n = ? 

Charge of electron, e = 1.6×10–19 C
C:\Users\user\Downloads\CamScanner 04-01-2021 21.56.jpg

We know,

Hall voltage, V= $\frac{{{B}_{Z}}I{}_{X}}{net}$

Or, n = $\frac{{{B}_{Z}}{{I}_{X}}}{{{V}_{H}}et}$

Or, n = $\frac{0.5\times 150\times {{10}^{-3}}}{8.75\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times 2.5\times {{10}^{-3}}}$

$\therefore $ Number of free electrons per unit volume, n = 2.143×1022 m–3
