(15) If a hole is made at the centre of a bar magnet, then its magnetic moment will
(A) Increase (B) Decrease (C) Not change (D) None of these
Solution:(Correct Answer:C)

s
A bar magnet has a pole strength and a length. These two quantities determine what is called magnetic
moment of the bar magnet. The magnetic moment is defined as pole strength multiplied by the
seperation of the north and south poles of the bar moment. The seperation between the poles can be

as
taken as the length of the bar magnet ( though the seperation of the poles is slightly less than the
length). When a hole is cut in the bar magnet, the pole strength does not change, as the number of free
poles at the ends do not change. Length does not change. So magnetic properties of the magnet
should not change.

(16) Magnetic lines of force

l
(A) Always intersect (B) Are always closed
dc
(C) Tend to crowd far away from the poles of
magnet (D) Do not pass through vacuum
Solution:(Correct Answer:B)
Magnetic lines of force are the imaginary lines in a magnetic field which show us the path along which
a single notrh pole will move. They can never intersect. Otherwise at the junction point, the north pole
Ve

will have two directions to move simultaenously. How can any particle move along two paths at a time?
Isolated single monopoles do not exist. We always get a pair of north and south pole only. The lines of
force start from a north pole and end at a south pole. Hence magnetic lines of force are always closed
curves. They are crowded where the field is strong and are less and far from each other where the field
is weak. Far away from the poles of a magnet, the field is very weak. Hence over there they won’t tend
to crowd, but remain away from each other.
They can easily pass through vacuum.

Magnetic permeability of a material is its ability to acquire the magnetism when it is exposed to a
magnetic field. It is maximum for the ferromagnetic substance.

(39) The relative permeability is represented by µr and the susceptibility is denoted by χ for a magnetic
substance. Then for a paramagnetic substance
(A) µr < 1, χ < 0 (B) µr < 1, χ > 0 (C) µr > 1, χ < 0 (D) µr > 1, χ > 0
Solution:(Correct Answer:D)
(d) Magnetic susceptibility is a dimensionless proportionality constant that indicates the degree of
magnetization of a material in response to an applied magnetic field.
M = χH
where, M is the magnetization of material, H is the magnetic field strength.
Therefore, χ > 0
Permeability is the measure of the ability of a material to support the formation of a magnetic field
within itself. Hence, it is the degree of magnetization that a material obtains in response to an applied
magnetic field.

In the given figure, since magnetic field line move away from the substance, it represent a
paramagentic substance.

(45) If a ferromagnetic material is inserted in a current carrying solenoid, the magnetic field of solenoid
(A) Largely increases (B) Slightly increases (C) Largely decreases (D) Slightly decreases
Solution:(Correct Answer:A)
When an iron rod or other ferromagnetic material is placed within the solenoid helix, the rod becomes
magnetized, thus creating an electromagnet. The presence of the ferromagnetic rod within the helix
greatly increases the strength of the magnetic field.

(46) A short bar magnet of magnetic moment 0.4 JT −1 is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.16 T. The
magnet is in stable equilibrium when the potential energy is ....... J
(A) 0.064 (B) −0.064 (C) 0 (D) −0.082

12
 Solution:(Correct Answer:B)
Here, Magnetic moment, M = 0.4 JT−1 Magnetic field, B = 0.16 T
When a bar magnet of magnetic moment is placed in a uniform magnetic field, its potential energy is
U = −M ⃗ ·B⃗ = −M B cos θ
For stable equilibrium, θ = 0
◦
∴ U = −M B = − 0.4 JT−1 (0.16 T) = −0.064 J

(47) A short bar magnet placed with its axis at 30◦ with a uniform external magnetic field of 0.25 T
experiences a torque of magnitude equal to 4.5 × 10−2 J. What is the magnitude of magnetic moment
(in J T −1 ) of the magnet?
(A) 0.64 (B) 0.36 (C) 1.32 (D) 0.86
Solution:(Correct Answer:B)
Magnetic field strength, B = 0.25 T
Torque on the bar magnet, T = 4.5 × 10−2 J
Angle between the bar magnet and the external magnetic field, θ = 30◦
Torque is related to magnetic moment (M ) as:
T = M B sin θ
∴ M = B sin T
θ
4.5×10−2

Hence, the magnetic moment of the magnet is 0.36 J T −1
