Question
When a ferromagnetic material goes through a hysteresis loop, its thermal energy is increased. Where does this energy come from?
✓
Answer
When a ferromagnetic material is taken through the cycle of magnetisation, magnet dipoles of the material orient and reorient with time. This molecular motion within the material results in the production of heat, which increses thermal energy of material.

Two fat astronauts each of mass 120kg are travelling in a closed spaceship moving at a speed of 15km/s in the outer space far removed from all other material objects. The total mass of the spaceship and its contents including the astronauts is 660kg. If the astronauts do slimming exercise and thereby reduce their masses to 90kg each, with what velocity will the spaceship move?
Derive the formula of electric potential at a point due to electric dipole.
The electric field intensity at a point at a distance of 20 cm from the centre of a sphere is 10 Volt/meter. Find the intensity of the electric field at a point located at a distance 8 cm from the centre of that circle. The radius of the sphere is 5 cm.
Consider a gravity$-$free hall in which an experimenter of mass $50\ kg$ is resting on a $5\ kg$ pillow, $8ft$ above the floor of the hall. He pushes the pillow down so that it starts falling at a speed of $8ft/s.$ The pillow makes a perfectly elastic collision with the floor, rebounds and reaches the experimenter's head. Find the time elapsed in the process.
→Maxwell showed that the speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the penneability and pennittivity of the medium through which it travels. The speed of an electromagnetic wave in free space is given by $\text{c}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0\epsilon_0}}.$ The fact led Maxwell to predict that light is an electromagnetic wave. The emergence of the speed of light from purely electromagnetic considerations is the crowning achievement of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory. The speed of an electromagnetic wave in any medium of permeability $\mu$ and pennittivity $\epsilon$ will be $\frac{\text{c}}{\sqrt{\text{K}\mu_\text{r}}}$ where $K$ is the dielectric constant of the medium and $\mu,$ is the relative permeability.

- $ML^2T^{-1}$
- Let $[\epsilon_0]$ denote the dimensional formula of the permittivity of the vacuum. $UM =$ mass, $L =$ length, $T = $ time and $A =$ electric current, then
