JEE Main 2025 — 24 January, Evening Shift — Question 56

N equally spaced charges each of value q , are placed on a circle of radius R. The circle rotates about its axis with an angular velocity ω\omega as shown in the figure. A bigger Amperian loop B encloses the whole circle where as a smaller Amperian loop A encloses a small segment. The difference between enclosed currents, IA−IBI_{A}-I_{B}, for the given Amperian loops is images

  1. Option A:

    N22πqω\frac{\mathrm{N}^{2}}{2 \pi} \mathrm{q} \omega

  2. Option B:

    2πNqω\frac{2 \pi}{N} q \omega

  3. Option C:

    N2πqω\frac{N}{2 \pi} q \omega

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    Nπqω\frac{N}{\pi} q \omega

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

IA=Nq2πω\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{\mathrm{Nq}}{\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}}

IA=Nqω2π,IB=0I_{A}=\frac{N q \omega}{2 \pi}, I_{B}=0

IA−IB=Nqω2πI_{A}-I_{B}=\frac{N q \omega}{2 \pi} images
