Q.

A long solenoid of radius 2 R contains another coaxial solenoid of half the radius . The coils have the same number of turns per unit length and initially both  carry no current. At the  same instant, the current in both  solenoids start increasing linearly with time . At any moment the  current flowing in the inner coil is twice as large as that in the outer one and their directions are  the same . Due the increasing currents, a charged particle  , initially at rest between the Solenoids, starts moving along a circular trajectory ( see Figure) of radius  r=KR. Then find K.

Detailed Solution

Let  the Current in the outer coil at any instant of time , say t, be I=αt and in the inner coil is 2I=2αt, where α is a constant. Because of these currents the magnetic field in the  outer coil is B=μ0nαt , where  n is the number of turns per unit length . Because  in the annular part (region between two coils )  no field will be there due to the inner coil, because the  annular region is the region outside the inner coil, so Bannularinner coil=0  andBannularouter coil 0nI

Similarly, the field in the Region II inside the inner coil will be

 BREGIONII=Bouter coil+Bimner coil BREGIONII=μnI+μ0n(2I)=3μ0nI=3B

The magnetic flux enclosed by the particle ‘s trajectory of radius   r  is

 ϕ=(πR2)(2B)+(πr2)(B) ϕ=(2R2+r2)πμ0nαt

Since we have

 |  Ed|=dϕdt E(2πr)=dϕdt E(2πr)=(2R2+r2)πμ0nα

E=2R2+r2rμ0nα2...........(1)

The charged particle is held in its circular orbit by the magnetic field , and so we have 

mυ2r=qυB..............(2)

Further, due to the induced electric field the particle gets  accelerated along its circular orbit by the tangenttial  component of the net force.  mat=qE where  m is the mass and q the electric charge of the  particle. Further, since the magnitude of the electric field is constant, the speed of the particle increases uniformly with time . So, 

υ=att=qEmt

Substituting the value of E from (1), we get

υ=qm2R2+r2rμ0nα2t...............(3)

Again , substituting this value of υ and the  value of B=μ0nαt, into equation (2), We get

 mr(2R2+r2)rμ0nα2qmt=qμ0nαt, (2R2+r2)2r2=1 r=2R K=2
