ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to express my greatest appreciation to the all


individuals who helped and supported me through the project.
I am thankful to my physics teacher Mr. Yogesh Parmar
for his ongoing support during the project, from initial advice,
and provision of contacts in the first stages through ongoing
advice and encouragement, which led to the final report of
this physics project.
I wish to thank my parents as well for their undivided support
and interest who inspired me and encouraged me to go on my
own way, without whom I would be unable to complete my
project. At the end, I want to thank my friends who displayed
appreciation to my work and motivated me to continue my
work.

THANK YOU!!!

“TO RESEARCH A BARMAGNET AS A COMPARATIVE


SOLENOID”

INTRODUCTION

The bar magnet is a permanent magnet whereas a solenoid is


an electromagnet that is; it acts as a magnet only when an
electric current is passed through. When a bar magnet is cut
into two halves, both the pieces act as a magnet with the same
magnetic properties whereas when a solenoid is cut into two
halves, they will have weaker fields.

WHAT IS A BAR MAGNET?

A bar magnet is a rectangular or a square piece of an object


made from iron or steel having permanent magnetic properties
with two poles: north and south.

WHAT IS A SOLENOID?

A solenoid is a coil with a length greater than its diameter and


is a type of electromagnet to produce controlled magnetic
fields by passing an electric current through it.

Difference between a bar magnet and a


solenoid

 The bar magnet is a permanent magnet whereas a


solenoid is an electromagnet that is; it acts as a magnet
only when an electric current is passed through.
 When a bar magnet is cut into two halves, both the pieces
act as a magnet with the same magnetic properties
whereas when a solenoid is cut into two halves, they will
have weaker fields.
 The poles of the bar magnet are fixed whereas for a
solenoid the poles can be altered.
 The strength of the magnetic field of a bar magnet is
fixed that is, unaltered whereas the strength of the
magnetic field of a solenoid depends on the electric
current that is passed through it.

Similarities between a bar magnet and a


solenoid
Bar magnet and solenoid both have attractive and
directive properties that is, to align itself along the
external magnetic field.
The magnetic field at the axial point is the same for both.
The magnetic moment is the same for both.

How does a solenoid behave like a


magnet?

• A solenoid is a long coil of circular loops of insulated


copper wire. Magnetic field lines are produced around
the solenoid when a current is allowed to flow through it.
The magnetic field produced by it is similar to the
magnetic field of a bar magnet.
• The field lines produced in a current-carrying solenoid is
shown in the above figure. When the north pole of a bar
magnet is brought near the end connected to the negative
terminal of the battery, the solenoid repels the bar
magnet.
• Since like poles repel each other, the end connected to
the negative terminal of the battery behaves as the North
Pole of the solenoid and the other end behaves as the
South Pole. Hence, one end of the solenoid behaves as
the North Pole and the other end behaves as the South
Pole.

Derivation of bar magnet as an


equivalent solenoid
By calculating the axial field of a finite solenoid carrying
current, a bar magnet can be demonstrated as a solenoid.
Consider a solenoid of radius a and length 2l with n number
of turns per unit length that has current I passing through the
solenoid. Considering a small element of thickness dx of the
solenoid at distance x from O such that OP = r.

OBSERVATION

From the above expression, it is understood that the magnetic


moment of a bar magnet is equal to the magnetic moment of a
solenoid.

CONCLUSION

By this we can conclude that bar magnet is a comparative


solenoid.
