NCERT Solutions Class 12 Physics Chapter 5 Magnetism and Matter

Ans: Provided in the question,

Magnetic field strength \[B=0.25\,T\] 

Torque on the bar magnet, \[T=4.5\times {{10}^{-2}}J\] 

Angle between the given bar magnet and the external magnetic field, \[\theta =30{}^\circ \]

Torque is related to magnetic moment (M) as: 

\[T=MB\sin (\theta )\]

\[\Rightarrow M=\frac{4.5\times {{10}^{-2}}}{0.25\times \sin 30{}^\circ }=0.36J/T\]

Clearly, the magnetic moment of the magnet is \[0.36J/T\].

2. A short bar magnet of magnetic moment \[M=0.32\,J/T\] is placed in a uniform magnetic field of \[0.15\,T\]. If the bar is free to rotate in the plane of the field, which orientation and would correspond to its

a) Stable?

Ans: It is provided that moment of the bar magnet, \[M=0.32J/T\].

External magnetic field, \[B=0.15T\]

It is considered as being in stable equilibrium, when the bar magnet is aligned along the magnetic field. Therefore, the angle \[\theta \], between the bar magnet and the magnetic field is \[0{}^\circ \] .

Potential energy of the system \[=-MB\cos (\theta )\]

\[\Rightarrow -MB\cos (\theta )=-0.32\times 0.15\times \cos (0)=-4.8\times {{10}^{-2}}J\] 

Hence the potential energy is \[=-4.8\times {{10}^{-2}}J\]

b) Unstable equilibrium? What is the potential energy of the magnet in each case? 

Ans: It is provided that moment of the bar magnet, \[M=0.32J/T\]

External magnetic field, \[B=0.15T\]

When the bar magnet is aligned opposite to the magnetic field, it is considered as being in unstable equilibrium, \[\theta =180{}^\circ \]

Potential energy of the system is hence\[=-MB\cos (\theta )\]

\[\Rightarrow -MB\cos (\theta )=-0.32\times 0.15\times \cos (180{}^\circ )=4.8\times {{10}^{-2}}J\] 

Hence the potential energy is \[=4.8\times {{10}^{-2}}J\].

3. A closely wound solenoid of \[800\] turns and area of cross section \[2.5\times {{10}^{-4}}\,{{m}^{2}}\] carries a current of \[3.0A\]. Explain the sense in which the solenoid acts like a bar magnet. What is its associated magnetic moment? 

Ans:  It is provided that number of turns in the solenoid, \[n=800\].

Area of cross-section, \[A=2.5\times {{10}^{-4}}{{m}^{2}}\]

Current in the solenoid, \[I=3.0A\]

A current-carrying solenoid is analogous to a bar magnet because a magnetic field develops along its axis, i.e., along its length joining the north and south poles.

The magnetic moment due to the given current-carrying solenoid is calculated as:

\[M=nIA=800\times 3\times 2.5\times {{10}^{-4}}=0.6J/T\]

Thus, the associated magnetic moment \[=0.6J/T\]

4. If the solenoid in Exercise 5.5 is free to turn about the vertical direction and a uniform horizontal magnetic field of \[0.25\,T\] is applied, what is the magnitude of torque on the solenoid when its axis makes an angle of \[30{}^\circ \] with the direction of applied field? 

Ans: Given is the magnetic field strength, \[B=0.25\,T\]

Magnetic moment, \[M=0.6\,/T\]

The angle, \[\theta \] between the axis of the turns of the solenoid and the direction of the external applied field is \[30{}^\circ \] .

Hence, the torque acting on the solenoid is given as: 

\[\tau =MB\sin (\theta )\]

\[\Rightarrow \tau =0.6\times 0.25\sin (30{}^\circ )\]

\[\Rightarrow \tau =7.5\times {{10}^{-2}}J\]

Hence the magnitude of torque is \[=7.5\times {{10}^{-2}}J\]

5. A bar magnet of magnetic moment \[1.5\,J/T\] lies aligned with the direction of a uniform magnetic field of \[0.22\,T\]. 

a) What is the amount of work required by an external torque to turn the magnet so as to align its magnetic moment: (i) normal to the field direction, (ii) opposite to the field direction?

Ans: Provided that,

Magnetic moment, \[M=1.5J/T\]

Magnetic field strength, \[B=0.22\,T\]

(i) Initial angle between the magnetic field and the axis is, \[{{\theta }_{1}}=0{}^\circ \]

Final angle between the magnetic field and the axis is, \[{{\theta }_{2}}=90{}^\circ \] 

The work that would be required to make the magnetic moment perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field would be:

\[W=-MB(\cos {{\theta }_{2}}-\cos {{\theta }_{1}})\]

\[\Rightarrow W=-1.5\times 0.22(\cos 90{}^\circ -\cos 0{}^\circ )\]

\[\Rightarrow W=-0.33(0-1)\]

\[\Rightarrow W=0.33\,J\]

(ii) Initial angle between the magnetic field and the axis, \[{{\theta }_{1}}=0{}^\circ \]

Final angle between the magnetic field and the axis, \[{{\theta }_{2}}=180{}^\circ \]

The work that would be required to make the magnetic moment opposite (180 degrees) to the direction of magnetic field is given as:

\[W=-MB(\cos {{\theta }_{2}}-\cos {{\theta }_{1}})\]

\[\Rightarrow W=-1.5\times 0.22(\cos 180{}^\circ -\cos 0{}^\circ )\]

\[\Rightarrow W=-0.33(-1-1)\]

\[\Rightarrow W=0.66J\]

b) What is the torque on the magnet in cases (i) and (ii)? 

Ans: For the first (i) case,

\[\theta ={{\theta }_{1}}=90{}^\circ \]

Hence the Torque, \[\vec{\tau }=\vec{M}\times \vec{B}\]

And its magnitude is:\[\tau =MB\sin (\theta )\]

\[\Rightarrow \tau =1.5\times 0.22\sin (90{}^\circ )\]

\[\Rightarrow \tau =0.33Nm\]

Hence the torque involved is \[=0.33Nm\]

For the second-(ii) case:

\[\theta ={{\theta }_{1}}=180{}^\circ \]

And its magnitude of the torque is:\[\tau =MB\sin (\theta )\]

\[\Rightarrow \tau =1.5\times 0.22\sin (180{}^\circ )\]

\[\Rightarrow \tau =0Nm\]

Hence the torque is zero.

6. A closely wound solenoid of \[2000\] turns and area of cross-section \[1.6\times {{10}^{-4}}{{m}^{2}}\], carrying a current of \[4.0\,A\], is suspended through its center allowing it to turn in a horizontal plane. 

a) What is the magnetic moment associated with the solenoid? 

Ans: Given is the number of turns on the solenoid, \[n=2000\]

Area of cross-section of the solenoid, \[A=1.6\times {{10}^{-4}}{{m}^{2}}\]

Current in the solenoid, \[I=4A\]

The magnetic moment inside the solenoid at the axis is calculated as:

\[M=nAI=2000\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-4}}\times 4=1.28A{{m}^{2}}\]

b) What is the force and torque on the solenoid if a uniform horizontal magnetic field of \[7.5\times {{10}^{-2}}T\] is set up at an angle of \[30{}^\circ \] with the axis of the solenoid?

Ans: Provided that,

Magnetic field, \[B=7.5\times {{10}^{-2}}T\]

Angle between the axis and the magnetic field of the solenoid, \[\theta =30{}^\circ \]

Torque, \[\tau =MB\sin (\theta )\]

\[\Rightarrow \tau =1.28\times 7.5\times {{10}^{-2}}\sin (30{}^\circ )\]

\[\Rightarrow \tau =4.8\times {{10}^{-2}}Nm\]

Given the magnetic field is uniform, and the force on the solenoid is zero. The torque on the solenoid is \[4.8\times {{10}^{-2}}Nm\].

7. A short bar magnet has a magnetic moment of \[0.48\,J/T\]. Give the direction and magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the magnet at a distance of \[10\,cm\] from the center of the magnet on

a) the axis, 

Ans: Provided that the magnetic moment of the given bar magnet, \[M\]is \[0.48J/T\]

Given distance, \[d=10cm=0.1m\]

The magnetic field at d-distance, from the centre of the magnet on the axis is given by the relation:

\[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }\frac{2M}{{{d}^{3}}}\]

here,

\[{{\mu }_{0}}=\] Permeability of free space\[=4\pi \times {{10}^{-7}}Tm/A\]

Substituting these values, \[B\] becomes as follows:

\[\Rightarrow B=\frac{4\pi \times {{10}^{-7}}}{4\pi }\frac{2\times 0.48}{{{0.1}^{3}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow B=0.96\times {{10}^{-4}}T=0.96\,G\]

The magnetic field is \[0.96G\] along the South-North direction.

b) the equatorial lines (normal bisector) of the magnet.

Ans: The magnetic field at a point which is \[d=10cm=0.1m\] away on the equatorial of the magnet is given as:

\[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }\frac{M}{{{d}^{3}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow B=\frac{4\pi \times {{10}^{-7}}}{4\pi }\frac{0.48}{{{0.1}^{3}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow B=0.48\times {{10}^{-4}}T=0.48G\]

The magnetic field is \[0.48G\]along the North-South direction.
