Sarthak Bansal answered
According to recent researches the magnetic field of earth is considered due to a large bar magnet situated in earth's core.
It is considered that the north pole of this large magnet is situated at the geographical south of earth and vice versa and as the magnetic field due to a bar magnet is from north pole to south pole of the maget thus the earth's magnetic field is considered from geographical south to geographical north which are respectively north and south poles of the bar magnet.

    zero
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Sharma answered
y = 5x2 - 10x + 7
dy/dx = 10x - 10
(At x = 1) 10(1) - 10 
m1 = 0
As we know that slope, m1m2 = -1 
=> 0(m2) = -1
m2 = -1/0 (which is not defined)

Sankar Singh answered
Calculation of Magnetic Field B in the Core

Given:

Mean radius of Rowland ring, r = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Number of turns of wire, N = 3500

Relative permeability of ferromagnetic core, μr = 800

Magnetising current, I = 12 A



The magnetic field B in the core of Rowland ring can be calculated using the formula:

B = (μ0 * N * I) / (2 * r)

where, μ0 is the permeability of free space

μ0 = 4π * 10^-7 Tm/A

Substituting the given values in the formula,

B = (4π * 10^-7 Tm/A * 3500 * 12 A) / (2 * 0.15 m)

B = 4.48 T



Therefore, the magnetic field B in the core of Rowland ring for a magnetising current of 12 A is 4.48 T, which is option A.

Anaya Patel answered
If a magnet is suspended over a container of liquid air, it attracts droplets to its poles. The droplets contain only liquid oxygen; even though nitrogen is the primary constituent of air, it is not attracted to the magnet. Explain what this tells you about the magnetic susceptibilities of oxygen and nitrogen, and explain why a magnet in ordinary, room-temperature air doesn’t attract molecules of oxygen gas to its poles.

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Shubham Jain answered
Paramagnetic materials are those materials that are weakly attracted by a magnetic field. They have unpaired electrons in their outermost shell, which causes a net magnetic moment due to the spin and orbital motion of the electrons.

Orbital and Spin Magnetic Moments:
- Orbital magnetic moment: It is the magnetic moment of an electron due to its motion around the nucleus.
- Spin magnetic moment: It is the magnetic moment of an electron due to its intrinsic spin.

Order of Bohr Magneton:
- Bohr magneton is a unit of magnetic moment, which is equal to approximately 9.27 x 10^-24 joules per tesla.
- The orbital and spin magnetic moments of electrons in paramagnetic materials are of the order of Bohr magneton.

Explanation of Option A:
- Option A states that the orbital and spin magnetic moments of electrons in paramagnetic materials are of the order of Bohr magneton.
- This is correct because the unpaired electrons in paramagnetic materials have a net magnetic moment due to their spin and orbital motion, which is of the order of Bohr magneton.
- This magnetic moment causes the paramagnetic material to be weakly attracted to a magnetic field.

Other Options:
- Option B states that the orbital magnetic moments of electrons in paramagnetic materials are zero, which is incorrect because the unpaired electrons have an orbital magnetic moment.
- Option C states that the orbital and spin magnetic moments of electrons in paramagnetic materials are less than zero, which is incorrect because magnetic moments cannot be negative.
- Option D states that the spin magnetic moments of electrons in paramagnetic materials are zero, which is incorrect because the unpaired electrons have a spin magnetic moment.

  • d)
    0.58 G in the direction of earth’s field.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Janhavi Kaur answered
To find the total magnetic field on the normal bisector of the magnet at the same distance as the null point, we need to consider the contributions from both the magnet and the Earth's magnetic field.

1. Magnetic Field due to the Magnet:
The null points on the axis of the magnet indicate that the field due to the magnet is equal and opposite to the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field. Therefore, the horizontal component of the magnet's field at the null point is equal to the Earth's magnetic field.

Given that the null point is at a distance of 14 cm from the center of the magnet, we can use the formula for the magnetic field along the axis of a short bar magnet:

B = (μ₀/4π) * (2M/(d³))

Where:
B is the magnetic field
μ₀ is the permeability of free space (4π x 10^-7 Tm/A)
M is the magnetic moment of the magnet
d is the distance from the center of the magnet

Since the null point is at 14 cm from the center, the distance from the center to the null point is 7 cm (0.07 m). The magnetic field due to the magnet at this point is equal to the Earth's magnetic field, which is given as 0.36 G (1 G = 10^-4 T).

2. Total Magnetic Field:
The total magnetic field on the normal bisector at the same distance from the center of the magnet can be found by vector addition of the Earth's magnetic field and the magnetic field due to the magnet.

Since the angle of dip is zero, the Earth's magnetic field is entirely horizontal. Therefore, the total magnetic field will be the vector sum of the Earth's magnetic field and the magnetic field due to the magnet.

The total magnetic field is given by:
B_total = √(B_magnet² + B_earth² + 2B_magnetB_earthcosθ)

Where:
B_magnet is the magnetic field due to the magnet
B_earth is the Earth's magnetic field
θ is the angle between the two fields (which is 180° since they are opposite in direction)

Plugging in the values:
B_total = √((0.36 G)² + (0.36 G)² + 2(0.36 G)(0.36 G)cos180°)
B_total = √(0.1296 G² + 0.1296 G² - 2(0.1296 G²))
B_total = √(0.2592 G² - 0.2592 G²)
B_total = √0 G²
B_total = 0 G

Therefore, the total magnetic field on the normal bisector of the magnet at the same distance as the null point is 0 G. None of the given options (a, b, c, d) match the correct answer.

  • d)
    y – 2x = 3
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Raghava Rao answered
Y=1/(x-3)^2

dy/dx=(-1/(x-3)^2)

given slope=2

-1/(x-3)^2 =2

-1/2=(x-3)^2

negative number is not equal to square. so no tangent

Kiran Khanna answered
Comparing Solenoid and Bar Magnet

Introduction:
Solenoid and bar magnet are two types of magnets that have different properties. However, there are some similarities between them. In this question, we need to identify the case where there is no exact similarity between solenoid and bar magnet.

Answer:
The correct answer is option 'A' - "There is a current entering and a current leaving a solenoid". Let's understand why this is the correct answer.

Solenoid:
A solenoid is a coil of wire that produces a magnetic field when an electric current is passed through it. The magnetic field produced by a solenoid is similar to that of a bar magnet. However, there are some differences.

Bar Magnet:
A bar magnet is a permanent magnet that has a north pole and a south pole. The magnetic field of a bar magnet is uniform and is strongest at the poles.

Comparison:
Now let's compare the two magnets based on the given options.

a) There is a current entering and a current leaving a solenoid:
This is a property unique to solenoids. When an electric current is passed through a solenoid, there is a current entering at one end and a current leaving at the other end. This is because a solenoid is a coil of wire that is wrapped around a core. As a result, the magnetic field produced by a solenoid is concentrated inside the coil and is weaker outside.

b) Solenoid can be broken into two weaker solenoids:
This is a property that is similar to a bar magnet. A bar magnet can be broken into two weaker magnets, each with its own north and south pole. Similarly, a solenoid can be broken into two weaker solenoids, each with its own magnetic field.

c) Flux lines enter one end of a solenoid:
This is a property that is similar to a bar magnet. The magnetic field of a bar magnet is uniform and the flux lines enter at one end and exit at the other end. Similarly, the magnetic field of a solenoid is strongest at the ends and the flux lines enter at one end and exit at the other end.

d) Moving a small compass needle in the neighbourhood of a solenoid enables tracing the flux lines:
This is a property that is similar to a bar magnet. The magnetic field of a bar magnet can be visualized using iron filings or a small compass needle. Similarly, the magnetic field of a solenoid can be visualized using a small compass needle.

Conclusion:
Based on the above comparison, we can see that option 'A' is the correct answer as it is the only option that is unique to solenoids and does not have a similar property in bar magnets.

In Ferromagnetic materials
  • a)
    atomic magnetic moments are random in strong external fields
  • b)
    strong interactions between atomic magnetic moments cause them to line up anti parallel to each other in external field
  • c)
    weak interactions between atomic magnetic moments cause them to line up anti parallel to each other in external field
  • d)
    strong interactions between atomic magnetic moments cause them to line up parallel to each other in regions called magnetic domains even if there is no external field
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajesh Chauhan answered
A ferromagnetic substance contains permanent atomic magnetic dipoles that are spontaneously oriented parallel to one another even in the absence of an external field. The magnetic repulsion between two dipoles aligned side by side with their moments in the same direction makes it difficult to understand the phenomenon of ferromagnetism. It is known that within a ferromagnetic material, there is a spontaneous alignment of atoms in large clusters. A new type of interaction, a quantum mechanical effect known as the exchange interaction, is involved. A highly simplified description of how the exchange interaction aligns electrons in ferromagnetic materials is given here.

Diamagnetic substances are
  • a)
    those which have tendency to move from stronger to the weaker part of the external magnetic field
  • b)
    those that are uneffected by external magnetic fields
  • c)
    those that develop a net magnetic moment in direction of applied field
  • d)
    those which have tendency to move from weaker to the stronger part of the external magnetic field
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Nabanita Sen answered
When a diamagnetic material is placed in an external magnetic field the spin motion of electrons is so modified that the electrons which produce the moments in the direction of the external field show down while the electrons which produce magnetic moments in opposite directions get accelerated.
Thus, a net magnetic moment is induced in the opposite direction of the applied magnetic field. Hence the substance is magnetized opposite of the external field. Thus, it moves from stronger. Weaker parts of the magnetic.

Athul Yadav answered
Clearly,  dx/dy =tan q = slope of normal = −cotq
Equation of normal at θ' is y−a(sinq − qcosq) = −cotq(x−a(cosq + qsinq)

permeability of a paramagnetic material is expected to decrease with increasing temperature because
  • a)
    random thermal motion increases magnetic moment alignment
  • b)
    electrons stop moving
  • c)
    electrons go into forbidden gap
  • d)
    random thermal motion reduces magnetic moment alignment
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

When a parametric material comes close to a magnetic field the atoms will align with the magnetic field which causes another magnetic field. Permeability is the total magnetic field divided by the original magnetic field. Increase in temperature makes it harder for the atoms to align which decreases the strength of the second field. This results in a lower total magnetic field (numerator) and thus lower permeability.

which of the following features of atomic structure determine whether an element is diamagnetic or paramagnetic

Shubham Jain answered
Atomic Structure and Diamagnetism/Paramagnetism

Diamagnetism and paramagnetism are the two types of magnetism that an element can exhibit. Diamagnetic elements are those that have all their electrons paired up and do not have any unpaired electrons. Paramagnetic elements, on the other hand, have one or more unpaired electrons and are attracted to a magnetic field.

The features of atomic structure that determine whether an element is diamagnetic or paramagnetic are as follows:

Orbital Angular Momentum and Spin Angular Momentum

The orbital angular momentum and spin angular momentum of an electron are two important properties of atomic structure that determine whether an element is diamagnetic or paramagnetic. These properties are related to the magnetic moment of an electron, which is a measure of the strength of its magnetic field.

Diamagnetic elements have all their electrons paired up, which means that their magnetic moments cancel out and they have no net magnetic moment. In contrast, paramagnetic elements have one or more unpaired electrons, which means that they have a net magnetic moment and are attracted to a magnetic field.

Atomic Weight

The atomic weight of an element is the average weight of all the isotopes of that element. This property does not directly determine whether an element is diamagnetic or paramagnetic, but it can indirectly affect the magnetic properties of an element. Heavier elements tend to have more unpaired electrons, which makes them more likely to be paramagnetic.

Number of Electrons

The number of electrons in an atom is another important feature of atomic structure that determines whether an element is diamagnetic or paramagnetic. Elements with an odd number of electrons are more likely to be paramagnetic because they have at least one unpaired electron. Elements with an even number of electrons can be either diamagnetic or paramagnetic, depending on whether their electrons are paired or unpaired.

Principal Quantum Number

The principal quantum number of an electron is a measure of its energy level. This property does not directly determine whether an element is diamagnetic or paramagnetic, but it can indirectly affect the magnetic properties of an element. Electrons with higher energy levels are more likely to be unpaired, which makes them more likely to be paramagnetic.

Conclusion

In summary, the orbital angular momentum and spin angular momentum of an electron are the features of atomic structure that determine whether an element is diamagnetic or paramagnetic. Other features, such as atomic weight, number of electrons, and principal quantum number, can indirectly affect the magnetic properties of an element.

Gayatri Sharma answered
All substances show some kind of magnetic behaviour. After all, they are made up of charged particles: electrons and protons. It is the way in which electron clouds arrange themselves in atoms and how groups of these atoms behave that determines the magnetic properties of the material. The atom (or group of atoms) in effect becomes a magnetic dipole or a mini bar magnet that can align according to the magnetic field applied. The net effect of all these dipoles determines the magnetic properties of the Magnetic Materials.

The equation of tangent to the curve y = x3 + 2x + 6 which is perpendicular to the line x + 14y + 4 = 0 is :​

  • d)
    14x – y + 5 = 0
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Samridhi Desai answered
y = x3 + 2x + 6
Slope of tangent = m1 = dy/dx = 3x3 + 2 
Slope of perpendicular line = m2 = −1/14
m1 . m2  = -1
m1 = 14
3x2 + 2 = 14
x = ±2
Therefore the curve has tangents at x = 2 and x = -2
and these points also lie on the given curve
Equation of tangent - y = 14x + c 
Coordinates of points of tangency
At x = 2 , y = 23 + 2(2) + 6 = 18 
At x = -2 , y = (-2)3 + 2(-2) + 6 = -6
18 = 14(2) + c
c = -10 
-6 = 14(-2) + c
c = 22
Equation of tangent - y = 14x - 10 and y = 14x + 22
Hence, 14x - y +22 = 0
