The same magnetic field is produced by a bar magnet.
Hence, a current carrying solenoid behaves like a bar magnet.
(b) Magnitude of magnetic dipole momentM with the circular current loop having n number of turns, carrying a current I and of area A is | M | = n IA . The direction of the magnetic dipole moment is perpendicular to the plane of the loop.
Heren = 5
I = 2 A
r = ( radius ) = 7 cm = 0.07 m
∴ Area = A = n r 2 = 3.14 × ( 0.07 ) 2 m 2
∴ Magnetic dipole moment

(a)A B and C D are two straight very long parallel conductors, carrying currents I 1 and I 2 , respectively, separated by a distance a .
The magnetic induction due to currentI 1 in A B at a distance a is: B 1 =
......(i)
This magnetic field acts perpendicular to the plane of the paper and inwards. The conductor CD with currentI 2 is situated in this magnetic field. Hence, force on a segment of length l of C D due to magnetic field B 1 is F 1 = B 1 I 2 l .Substituting B 1 from eqn (i)
F 1 =
......(ii)
By Fleming's Left Hand Rule, F acts towards left. Similarly, the magnetic induction due to currentI 2 flowing in CD at a distance a is
B 2 =
......(iii)
This magnetic field acts perpendicular to the plane of the paper and outwards. The conductorAB with current I 1 , is situated in this field. Hence, force on a segment of length l of A B due to magnetic field B 2 is
F 2 = B 2 I 1 l
SubstitutingB 2 from eqn (iii),
F 2 =
........(iv)
By Fleming's Left Hand Rule, this force acts towards right. These two forces given in equations (ii) and (iv) attract each other. Hence, two parallel wires carrying currents in the samedirection attract each other and if they carry currents in the opposite direction, repel each other.
Definition of 1 Ampere:
The force between two parallel wires carrying currents on a segment of lengthl is F =
Force per unit length is

IfI 1 = I 2 = 1 A and ' a ' = 1 m
Then,

= 2 × 10 − 7 Nm − 1
So,1 A is defined as that constant current which when flowing through two parallel infinitely long straight conductors of negligible cross section and placed in air or vacuum at a distance of one meter apart, experience a force of 2 × 10 − 7 Nm − 1 .
(b)
Dipole moment of the magnet= M = 3 Am 2
F = force applied at a distance 10 cm from the centre
It is now in equilibrium at an angle= θ = 30 ∘
External magnetic field strength= B = 0.25 T
The magnet will be at rest when the total torque acting on it is 0 .
It means that the torque due to applied forceF is equal to the torque due to magnetic force.
Torque due to applied force= F × 10
Torque due to magnetic force= MB s i n θ
= 3 × 0.25 × s i n 30 ∘
Since, torque due to applied forceF = torque due to magnetic force, so
F × 10 = 3 × 0.25 × s i n 30 ∘
F =
× 3 × 0.25 × s i n 30 ∘ =
× 3 × 0.25 × 0.5
= 0.0375 N
IfF is withdrawn, the magnet will go back to its original position.
