(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.
(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.
Here,
Horizontal component,
Angle of dip,
Using the formula,
Putting values, we get
which is the required vertical component of Earth's magnetic field.
Using the below formula we can find the value of resulatant magnetic field.
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,
i.e.,
At the same distance, on equatorial line, we have
If χ stands for the magnetic susceptibility of a given material, identify the class of materials for which:
(i) – 1 ≥ χ < 0
(ii) 0 < χ < ε, (ε stands for a small positive number).
(a) Write the range of relative magnetic permeability of these materials.
(b) Draw the pattern of the magnetic field lines when these materials are placed in an external magnetic field.
(i) For – 1 ≥ χ < 0, material is diamagnetic,
(ii) For 0 < χ < ε, material is paramagnetic,
