Answer: deflection per unit current.

Explanation:


3. Biot-Savart law indicates that the moving electrons (velocity v) produce a magnetic field B such that ?

it is along the line joining the electron and point of observation

it obeys inverse cube law

B is perpendicular to v

B is parallel to v

Answer: B is perpendicular to v

Explanation:


4. A current loop placed in a non-uniform magnetic field experiences ?

a torque but not force.

a force and a torque.

a force of attraction.

a force of repulsion.

Answer: a force and a torque.

Explanation:

In non-uniform magnetic field, current loop experiences an unequal opposite force which forms torque.

three times

four times

double

Answer: four times

Explanation:
