PART I (Compulsory)

Q 1:                                                                                                                                                        5 marks

Answer all questions briefly and to the point:

(i). What’s the magnetic flux produced by a long straight wire carrying a current of 1 A, if we are to measure such at a radial distance of 1 meter and through an unit cross section area?

(ii). What’s the force experienced by a 1 meter long wire carrying a current of 1 mA if its aligned with a magnetic field of strength 100 Tesla?

(iii). What’s the speed of an electron if its moving in a magnetic field of 1 Tesla in a circle of radius 100 cm  perpendicular to the field.

(iv). If the flux of a magnetic induction changes at a rate of 10 Weber per second what’s the emf induced by such according to Faraday’s law?

(v). In a mutual induction system the primary coils are less in number than the secondary coils by a factor of 10. If a voltage of 100 Volts is applied in the primary coils what will be the output voltage?

PART II

Answer all questions in this part.

 Q2:

1. A.      An α-particle was targeted into a magnetic field of strength 10^-2 Tesla at a speed of 0.4 c. If the particle experiences a force of 100 N, what’s the angle it makes to the field direction?                                                                                                                                                 3 marks.
2. B.      Elementary particles are known to increase their mass when they travel faster, by a factor of g = [sqrt (1-v²/c²)] ^-1, that is new mass m = m₀g where m₀ is the original mass called REST MASS. What’s the mass of the particle at a given speed of 0.5c for the above problem?                            3 marks

Q3:

1. A.      What’s the speed of an electron in a cathode ray tube if the electric field and magnetic field are of unit strength in SI unit?
