Magneto Static Class 12 Notes Physics

  • Magneto-static:- It is the study of magnetic fields in systems where the currents are steady (not changing with time). It is the magnetic analogue of electrostatics, where the charges are stationary. 
  • Magnitude of magnetic force between two poles (Coulomb’s law in magnetism):-
    F = (µ0/4π) (m1m2/r2)
    Here µ0 is called the absolute magnetic permeability of free space.
    µ0= 4π×10-7 Wb A-1 m-1

  • Properties of magnetic lines of force:-
    Magneto Static Class 12 Notes Physics
    (a) Lines of force are directed away from a north pole and are directed towards a south pole. A line of force starts from a north pole and ends at a south  pole if they are isolated poles.
    (b) Tangent, at any point, to the magnetic line of force gives the direction of magnetic intensity at that point.
    (c) Two lines of force never cross each other.

    (b) North pole facing south of earth:-
    B = (µ0/4π) [2Mr/(r2-l2)2]

FAQs on Magneto Static Class 12 Notes Physics

1. What is magneto static?
Ans. Magneto static refers to the study of the static behavior of magnetic fields or magnets. It involves the analysis of magnetic fields in the absence of any time-varying currents or charges.
2. What are some applications of magneto statics?
Ans. Magneto statics has various practical applications. Some examples include the design and analysis of magnetic sensors, magnetic recording devices, and magnetic shielding. It is also used in the study of magnetic materials and the behavior of permanent magnets.
3. How is magneto static different from electrostatics?
Ans. Magneto statics and electrostatics are both branches of classical electromagnetism, but they deal with different phenomena. While electrostatics focuses on the study of stationary electric charges and their interaction, magneto statics deals with the behavior of magnetic fields and magnets in the absence of time-varying currents or charges.
4. What are the fundamental laws governing magneto statics?
Ans. The fundamental laws governing magneto statics are Ampere's law, which relates the magnetic field to the current distribution, and Gauss's law for magnetism, which states that there are no magnetic monopoles. These laws, along with the appropriate boundary conditions, form the basis for analyzing and solving magneto static problems.
5. Can magneto statics be applied to moving charges and time-varying magnetic fields?
Ans. No, magneto statics specifically deals with the behavior of magnetic fields and magnets in the absence of time-varying currents or charges. To study the effects of moving charges or time-varying magnetic fields, one needs to consider the full dynamics of electromagnetism, which involves both magneto statics and electrodynamics.
