A magnetic field line indicates MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A magnetic field line indicates
A. Direction of electric field
B. Path of charged particle
C. Direction of force on a north pole
D. Direction of current
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Magnetic field lines represent direction of force on an isolated north pole. They emerge from north and enter south. They never cross. Tangent gives field direction. Compass aligns along these lines.

Question #2
The radius of the nth Bohr orbit in hydrogen atom is proportional to:
A. 1/n²
B.
C. 1/n
D. n

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Bohr model: radius r_n = (4πε₀ħ²n²)/(m_e e²) = n² a₀, where a₀ is Bohr radius (≈0.529 Å). Thus r_n ∝ n². Energy E_n ∝ -1/n². Memory tip: 'Bohr radius: r ∝ n²; energy: E ∝ -1/n²'. This atomic physics formula is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that n is principal quantum number; higher n means larger orbit, less tightly bound electron. This problem assesses understanding of quantization in early quantum theory.
