MCQ
Three objects colored black, gray and white can withstand hostile conditions upto $2800\,^oC$. These objects are thrown into a furnace where each of them attains a temperature of $2000\,^oC$. Which object will glow brightest?
  • A
    the white object
  • the black object
  • C
    all glow with equal brightness
  • D
    gray object

Answer

Correct option: B.
the black object
b
Black has greatest emissivity and greatest absorbtivity as compared with other colours. At $2000\,^oC$ it will have greatest emissivity so it will glow brightest.

Consider a long straight wire of a circular cross-section (radius a) carrying a steady current I. The current is uniformly distributed across this cross-section. The distances from the centre of the wire's cross-section at which the magnetic field [inside the wire, outside the wire] is half of the maximum possible magnetic field, any where due to the wire, will be
A special metal $S$ conducts electricity without any resistance. A closed wire loop, made of $S$, does not allow any change in flux through itself by inducing a suitable current to generate a compensating flux. The induced current in the loop cannot decay due to its zero resistance. This current gives rise to a magnetic moment which in turn repels the source of magnetic field or flux. Consider such a loop, of radius $a$, with its center at the origin. A magnetic dipole of moment $m$ is brought along the axis of this loop from infinity to a point at distance $r \gg a)$ from the center of the loop with its north pole always facing the loop, as shown in the figure below.

The magnitude of magnetic field of a dipole $m$, at a point on its axis at distance $r$, is $\frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi} \frac{m}{r^3}$, where $\mu_0$ is the permeability of free space. The magnitude of the force between two magnetic dipoles with moments, $m_1$ and $m_2$, separated by a distance $r$ on the common axis, with their north poles facing each other, is $\frac{k m_1 m_2}{r^4}$, where $k$ is a constant of appropriate dimensions. The direction of this force is along the line joining the two dipoles.

$(A)$ $\frac{m}{r^3}$ $(B)$ $\frac{m^2}{r^2}$ $(C)$ $\frac{m}{r^2}$ $(D)$ $\frac{m^2}{r}$

$(A)$ $\frac{m}{r^5}$ $(B)$ $\frac{m^2}{r^5}$ $(C)$ $\frac{m^2}{r^6}$ $(D)$ $\frac{m^2}{r^7}$
