Question
A bar magnet takes $\frac{\pi}{10}$ second to complete one oscillation in an oscillation magnetometer. The moment of inertia of the magnet about the axis of rotation is $1.2 \times 10^{-4} \ kg-m^2$ and the earth's horizontal magnetic field is $30\mu \text{T}.$ Find the magnetic moment of the magnet.

Answer

We know: $\text{v}=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac}{\text{mB}_\text{H}}{\text{I}}$For like poles tied together
$M = M_1 - M_2$_
For unlike poles $M' = M_1+ M_2$​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
$\frac{\text{v}_1}{\text{v}_2}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{M}_1-\text{M}_2}{\text{M} _1-\text{M}_2}}\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{10}{2}\Big)^2$
$=\frac{\text{M}_1-\text{M}_2}{\text{M}_1+\text{M}_2}\Rightarrow25=\frac{\text{M}_1-\text{M}_2}{\text{M}_1+\text{M}_2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{26}{24}=\frac{2\text{M}_1}{2\text{M}_2}\Rightarrow\frac{\text{M}_1}{\text{M}_2}=\frac{13}{12}$

 A magnetic field can be produced by moving, charges or electric currents. The basic equation governing the magnetic field due to a current distribution is the Biot-Savart law. Finding the magnetic field resulting from a current distribution involves the vector product, and is inherently a calculas problem when the distance from the current to the field point is continuously changing. According to this law, the magnetic field at a point due to a current element of length $\text{d}\vec{\text{I}}$ carrying current I, at a distance r from the element is $\text{dB}=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{\text{I}(\text{d}{\vec{\text{I}}\times\vec{\text{r}}})}{\text{r}^3}$Biot-Savart law has certain similarities as well as difference with Coloumb's law for electrostatic field e.g., there is an angle dependence in Biot-Savart law which is not present in electrostatic case.

The saturation current from a thoriated$-$tungsten cathode at $2000K$ is $100mA.$ What will be the saturation current for a pure$-$tungsten cathode of the same surface area operating at the same temperature? The constant $A$ in the Richardson$-$Dushman equation is $60 \times 10^4Am^{-2}K^{-2}$ for pure tungsten and $3.0 \times 10^4Am^{-2}k^{-2}$ for thoriated tungsten. The work function of pure tungsten is $4.5eV$ and that of thoriated tungsten is $2.6eV.$
Gauss's law and Coulomb's law, although expressed in different forms, are equivalent ways of describing the relation between charge and electric field in static conditions. Gauss's law is $\epsilon_0\phi=\text{q}_{\text{end},}$ when $\text{q}_{\text{encl}}$ is the net charge inside an imaginary closed surface called Gaussian surface. $\phi=\oint\vec{\text{E}}\cdot\text{d}\vec{\text{A}}$ gives the electric flux through the Gaussian surface. The two equations hold only when the net charge is in vacuum or air.

  3. $\oint\vec{\text{E}}\cdot\text{d}\vec{\text{s}}=\infty$ if charge is inside.
  4. $\oint\vec{\text{E}}\cdot\text{d}\vec{\text{s}}=0$ if charge is outside, $\oint\vec{\text{E}}\cdot\text{d}\vec{\text{s}}=\frac{\text{q}}{\epsilon_0}$ if charge is inside.
