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.

By analogy to Gauss's law of electrostatics, we can write Gauss's law of magnetism as $\oint\vec{\text{B}}.\text{d}\vec{\text{v}}=\mu_0\text{m}_{\text{inside}}$ where $\oint\vec{\text{B}}.\text{d}\vec{\text{s}}$ is the magnetic flux and $\text{m}_{\text{inside}}$ is the net pole strength inside the closed surface. We do not have an isolated magnetic pole in nature. At least none has been found to exist till date. The smallest unit of the source of magnetic field is a magnetic dipole where the net magnetic pole is zero. Hence, the net magnetic pole enclosed by any closed surface is always zero. Correspondingly, the flux of the magnetic field through any closed surface is zero.

where $F$ denotes the force between two charges $q _1$ and $q _2$ separated by a distance $r$ in free space, $\varepsilon_0$ is a constant known as the permittivity of free space. Free space is a vacuum and may be taken to be air practically. If free space is replaced by a medium, then $\varepsilon_0$ is replaced by $\left(\varepsilon_0 k\right)$ or $\left(\varepsilon_0 \varepsilon_r\right)$ where $k$ is known as dielectric constant or relative permittivity.
$(i)$ In coulomb's law, $F =k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$, then on which of the following factors does the proportionality constant $k$ depends?
$(a)$ Nature of the medium between the two charges
$(b)$ Distance between the two charges
$(c)$ Electrostatic force acting between the two charges
$(d)$ Magnitude of the two charges
$(ii)$ Dimensional formula for the permittivity constant $\varepsilon_0$ of free space is
$(a) \left[ M ^{-1} L^3 T^2 A^2\right]$

$(d)$ Newton's law of gravitation
