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.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5.In physics, we can classify quantities as scalars or vectors. Basically, the difference is that a direction is associated with a vector but not with a scalar. A scalar quantity is a quantity with magnitude only. It is specified completely by a single number, along with the proper unit. Examples are: the distance between two points, mass of an object, the temperature of a body and the time at which a certain event happened. The rules for combining scalars are the rules of ordinary algebra. Scalars can be added, subtracted, multiplied and divided just as the ordinary numbers. A vector quantity is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction and obeys the triangle law of addition or equivalently the parallelogram law of addition. So, a vector is specified by giving its magnitude by a number and its direction. Some physical quantities that are represented by vectors are displacement, velocity, acceleration and force. Answer the following

A kid of mass M stands at the edge of a platform of radius R which can be freely rotated about its axis. The moment of inertia of the platform is I. The system is at rest when a friend throws a ball of mass m and the kid catches it. If the velocity of the ball is v horizontally along the tangent to the edge of the platform when it was caught by the kid, find the angular speed of the platform after the event.
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from $1$ to $5.$ The rules for determining the uncertainty or error in the measured quantity in arithmetic operations can be understood from the following examples. a.) If the length and breadth of a thin rectangular sheet are measured, using a metre scale as $16.2\ cm$ and, $10.1\ cm$ respectively, there are three significant figures in each measurement. It means that the length L may be written as L = 16.2 ± 0.1cm = 16.2cm ± 0.6%. Similarly, the breadth b may be written as $b = 10.1 ± 0.1\ cm = 10.1\ cm ± 1\%$ Then, the error of the product of two (or more) experimental values, using the combination of errors rule, will be $L*b = 163.62\ cm^2 + 1.6% = 163.62 + 2.6\ cm^2 $ This leads us to quote the final result as $L*b = 164 + 3\ cm^2.$ Here $3\ cm^2$ is the uncertainty or error in the estimation of area of rectangular sheet. b) If a set of experimental data is specified to $n$ significant figures a result obtained by combining the data will also be valid to n significant figures.However, if data are subtracted, the number of significant figures can be reduced.For example, $12.9g – 7.06g$, both specified to three significant figures, cannot properly be evaluated as 5.84g but only as $5.8g$, as uncertainties in subtraction or addition combine in a different fashion (smallest number of decimal places rather than the number of significant figures in any of the number added or subtracted). c.) The relative error of a value of number specified to significant figures depends not only on n but also on the number itself. For example, the accuracy in measurement of mass $1.02g$ is $± 0.01g$ whereas another measurement $9.89g$ is also accurate to $± 0.01g$. The relative error in $1.02g$ is: $= (± 0.01/1.02) \times 100\% = ± 1\%$ Similarly, the relative error in $9.89\ g$ is $= (± 0.01/9.89) \times 100\% = ± 0.1%$ Finally, remember that intermediate results in a multi-step computation should be calculated to one more significant figure in every measurement than the number of digits in the least precise measurement. $d.$) The nature of a physical quantity is described by its dimensions. All the physical quantities represented by derived units can be expressed in terms of some combination of seven fundamental or base quantities. We shall call these base quantities as the seven dimensions of the physical world, which are denoted with square brackets $[  ]$. Thus, length has the dimension $[L],$ mass $[M],$ time $[T],$ electric current $[A]$, thermodynamic temperature $[K]$, luminous intensity $[cd],$ and amount of substance $[mol]$. The dimensions of a physical quantity are the powers (or exponents) to which the base quantities are raised to represent that quantity. Note that using the square brackets $[ ]$ round a quantity means that we are dealing with ‘the dimensions of’ the quantity. In mechanics, all the physical quantities can be written in terms of the dimensions $[L], [M]$ and $[T]$. For example, the volume occupied by an object is expressed as the product of length, breadth and height, or three lengths. Hence the dimensions of volume are $[L] \times [L] \times [L] = [L^3].$

Some washing machines have cloth driers. It contains a drum in which wet clothes are kept. As the drum rotates, the water particles get separated from the cloth. The general description of this action is that "the centrifugal force throws the water particles away from the drum". Comment on this statement from the viewpoint of an observer rotating with the drum and the observer who is washing the clothes.
