Explain with the help of diagram the terms (i) magnetic declination and (ii) angle of dip at a given place. 



(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.

A uniform magnetic field gets modified as shown below, when two specimens X and Y are placed in it.

(i) Identify the two specimens X and Y.
(ii) State the reason for the behaviour of the field lines in X and Y. 


(i) X is a diamagnetic substance.
    Y is a paramagnetic substance. 

(ii) For a diamagnetic substance, the field lines are repelled or expelled and the field inside the material is reduced when a diamagnetic bar is placed in an external field.

For a paramagnetic substance, the field lines get concentrated inside the material and the field is increased when a paramagnetic bar is placed in an external field.

The horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field at a place is 0.4 x 10–4 T. If angle of dip is 45°, what are the values of vertical component and total intensity of earth’s field?

Here,
Horizontal component, BH = 0.4 × 10-4T
Angle of dip, δ = 45o 

Using the formula,   BVBH = tan δ  

Putting values, we get

BV = BH tan'δ 

BV = 0.4 × 10-4 tan 45°BV = 0.4 × 10-4T 

which is the required vertical component of Earth's magnetic field.

Using the below formula we can find the value of resulatant magnetic field.

BH = BE cos δ    BE = BHcos δ 

BE = 0.4 × 10-4cos 45°      = 0.42 × 10-4T 

BE = 0.5656 × 10-4T.

A magnet 10 cm long has a pole strength of 12 Am. Find the magnitude of magnetic field strength B at a point on its at a distance of 20 cm from it's mid point on axial line. What would be the value of B, if the point were to lie at the same distance on equatorial line of magnet ?

Here,
Length of magnet, 2l = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Magnetic moment, m = 12 Am

Distance of point from the mid point of axial line, d = 20 cm =0.2 m 


Magnetic field on the axial line,
           Bax=  μ04π × 2 md(d2-l2)2 

 i.e., Ba xial  = μ02.2mld4π(d2-l2)2 = μ04mld4π(d2-l2)2            = 4π×10-7×4×12×0.05×0.24π(0.2)2-(0.05)22 

         B1 = 3.4 × 10-5T 

At the same distance, on equatorial line, we have 

Beq = 12Bax  

  B2 = 12×3.4×10-5T     = 1.7 × 10-5T
