Answers
1. a. 0.66J
Explanation:
2. d. J/T
Explanation: J/T
3. a. 19.5mA
Explanation:
5. a.
Explanation: Since torque is cross product of magnetic moment vector and
magnetic field, hence it is given by
6. Yes. The variation may be appreciable over a very large interval of time.
7. Paramagnetic substance.
The susceptibility of paramagnetic substance is small and positive ( ).
Ex. Aluminium, Sodium etc.
8. When paramagnetic materials are placed in external magnetic field, these are feebly
magnetised in the direction of the applied external magnetic field whereas in case of
diamagnetic materials, these are feebly magnetised opposite to the direction of the
applied external magnetic field.
9. Given, , B = 0.25 T,
Using formula
3/6
M = 2 m l [m = pole strength]
m = 0.36 JT-1
10. Field lines of due to the earth's magnetism would seem to come out of the ground.
11. When compass needle of magnetic moment M and moment of inertia I is slightly
disturbed by an angle from the mean position of equilibrium. Then, restoring
torque begins to act on the needle which try to bring the needle back to its mean
position which is given by
4/6
Magnetic dipole moment is a vector.
13. The actual length of a magnet is called the geometric length of the magnet. The
distance between the poles of a magnet is called the magnetic length of the magnet.
The geometric length of the magnet is nearly 8/7 times the magnetic length of the
magnet.
14. It is along the axis of the solenoid. The direction is determined by the sense of flow of
the current. Solenoid acts like a bar magnet.
