Answers
1. a. 6.24MA/m
Explanation:
2. b. 5499
Explanation:
3. d. 4.48 T
Explanation: = 4.48 T
4. a. 6.3 cm
Rr = 0.063m = 6.3 cm
5. a.
Explanation: Since magnetic monopoles do not exist, flux entering the closed
surface is equal to flux leaving the surface. Hence net magnetic flux through a
closed surface is zero.

7. Let is earth's magnetic field
Now,
8. Carbon steel piece, because heat lost per cycle is proportional to the area of hysteresis
loop.
9. Given, N = 800, I = 3 A, A =
B = 0.25 T,
Magnetic moment, M = N I A
= 0.5 JT-1
Torque,
.
I = -H
Therefore
Also
= zero

I = 0.75 A,
v = 2.0 s-1
M = NIA
Using formula
Or
Putting values,
13. i. The angle of dip decreases from 90°to 0° as we move from pole to the equator of
earth.
ii. For paramagnetic materials, magnetic lines of force are feebly attracted by the
materials and for that reason only a few magnetic field lines enter in it. So,
specimen X is paramagnetic. For ferromagnetic materials, all magnetic lines of
force prefer to go through it. So, specimen Y is ferromagnetic.
14. i. Magnetic declination at a place may be defined as the angle between its magnetic
meridian and the earth geographic meridian at the place.
ii. Angle of dip at a place is defined as the angle between the direction of intensity of
earth's magnetic field (BE) and the horizontal direction in magnetic meridian at
that place.
15. Before passing current, compass needle was along H. On passing current, the needle
shows a deflection of 30° (with H) under the combined effect of H and B, magnetic
field due to current (in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the coil).
6/7
As compass needle is inclined equally to H and B, figure, therefore.
B=H
or I = 2.54 A
