NTA Abhyas JEE Main2020PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentPractice
Two infinite sheets carrying current in same direction (of equal current per unit length K ) are separated by a distance d . A proton is released from a point between the plates with a velocity parallel to the sheets but perpendicular to the direction of current in the sheets. Then the path of the proton is
Options
- Acircle
- Bhelix
- Cstraight line
- Dstraight line only if it is released from a point exactly midway between the two plates.
Correct answer
C. straight line
Step-by-step solution
As net magnetic field due to sheets will be zero, net force acting on the proton also becomes zero, it will continue to move on a straight line. ∵ F → = q V → × B →
