Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 1

Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion (A): Magnetic poles cannot be separated by breaking a bar magnet into two pieces.

Reason (R): When a magnet is broken into two pieces, the magnetic moment will be reduced to half.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 1
Magnetic poles always exist in pairs even in atomic level. So assertion is true. When a magnet is broken into two pieces, the pole strength remains same; only the length becomes half. So, the magnetic moment becomes half. So, the reason is also true. But R is not the proper explanation of A.
Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 2

Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion (A): Gauss theorem is not applicable in magnetism.

Reason (R): Magnetic monopole does not exist.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 2
Gauss's theorem of magnetism is different from that for electrostatics because electric charges may not exist in pair but magnetic poles always exist in pair. So assertion is true. Magnetic monopole does not exist. Magnetic poles always exist in pair. So reason is also true and reason clearly explains the assertion.

Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 3

Assertion :The true geographic north direction is found by using a compass needle. Reason: The magnetic meridian of the earth is along the axis of rotation of the earth.

  1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
  2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
  3. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
  4. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 3

The true geographic north-south direction is inclined at an angle with magnetic north-south direction. The angle between them is known as declination. Compass needle gives us direction of north-south (magnetic) direction. Magnetic meridian to pass through magnetic north-south direction. Axis of rotation of the earth gives us geographic north-south direction. So, both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 4

Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion (A): Gauss’s law of magnetism is different from Gauss’s law of electrostatics.

Reason (R): Isolated electric charge can exist but isolated magnetic pole cannot exist.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 4
In electrostatics, Gauss’s law

Gauss’s law of magnetism:

Gauss’s law of magnetism is different from Gauss’s law of electrostatics. Hence, the assertion is true. Electric charge may or may not exist in pair. But magnetic poles always exist in pair. No magnetic monopole exists. This is the reason why Gauss’s law of magnetism is different from Gauss’s law of electrostatics. So, the reason is also true and explains the assertion.

Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 5

Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.

Assertion : In high latitudes one sees colourful curtains of light hanging down from high altitudes

Reason : The high energy charged particles from the sun are deflected to polar regions by the magnetic field of the earth.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 5
These photons are viewed as a colourful light to our eyes. In the reason, it states that the higher energy charged particles called the fast-moving electrons are collided/deflected by the particle in the polar region causing the curtain of light to occur. Hence the reason matches the assertion.
Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 6

Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.

Assertion : A disc-shaped magnet is deviated above a superconducting material that has been cooled by liquid nitrogen.

Reason : Superconductors repel a magnet.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 6
Superconductors are actually diamagnetic in nature so when it is placed above a magnet it will be repelled by magnet or it will tend to move from higher field to lower field. This is the principle behind levitation of a superconducting material above magnet.
Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 7

Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.

Assertion : Diamagnetic materials can exhibit magnetism.

Reason : Diamagnetic materials have permanent magnetic dipole moment.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 7
Diamagnetic material exhibits magnetism in reverse direction. Reason is a wrong statement. Because due to absence of unpaired electron in diamagnetic material it does not exhibit permanent magnet dipole moment
Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 8

Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.

Assertion : If a compass needle be kept at magnetic north pole of the earth the compass needle may stay in any direction.

Reason : Dip needle will stay vertical at the north pole of earth

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 8
The earth has only vertical component of its magnetic field at the magnetic poles. Since compass needle is only free to rotate in horizontal plane where H = 0, hence the compass needle may stay in any direction. The dip needle rotates in a vertical plane and angle of dip at poles is 90∘. So it will stand vertical.
Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 9

Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.

Assertion : The ferromagnetic substance do not obey Curie’s law.

Reason : At Curie point a ferromagnetic substance start behaving as a paramagnetic substance.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 9

The susceptibility of ferromagnetic substance decreases with the rise of temperature in a complicated manner. After Curie point in the susceptibility of ferromagnetic substance varies inversely with its absolute temperature. Ferromagnetic substance obey's Curie's law only above its Curie point.

Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 10

Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.

Assertion : Electromagnetic are made of soft iron.

Reason : Coercivity of soft iron is small.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Magnetism & Matter - 2 - Question 10
Electromagnets are magnets, which can be turned on and off by switching the current on and off. As the material in electromagnets is subjected to cyclic changes (magnification and demagnetisation), the hysteresis loss of the material must be small. The material should attain high value of I and B with low value of magnetising field intensity H. As soft iron has small coercivity, so it is a best choice for this purpose.
