A sheet is placed on a horizontal surface in front of a strong magnetic pole. A force is needed to:

$A$. hold the sheet there if it is magnetic.

$B$. hold the sheet there if it is non-magnetic.

$C$. move the sheet away from the pole with uniform velocity if it is conducting.

$D$. move the sheet away from the pole with uniform velocity if it is both, non-conducting and non-polar.

Choose the correct statement($s$) from the options given below:

  • $A$ and $C$ only
  • B
    $A$, $C$ and $D$ only
  • C
    $C$ only
  • D
    $B$ and $D$ only
Answer
Correct option: A.
$A$ and $C$ only
a
$A$. A magnetic pole will repel or attract magnetic sheet so force is need.

$B$. If sheet is non-magnetic, no force needed.

$C$. If it is conducting, then there will be addy current in sheet, which opposes the motion. So forces is needed move sheet with uniform speed.

$D$. The non-conducting and non-polar sheet do not interact with magnetic field of magnet.

A $250-$ turn rectangular coil of length $2.1\, cm$ and width $1.25\, cm$ carries a current of $85\, \mu A$ and subjected to a magnetic field of strength $0.85\, T.$ Work done for rotating the coil by $180^o $ against the torque is ..............  $\mu\  J$
  • A
    $4.55 $
  • B
    $2.3$
  • C
    $1.15 $
  • $9.1$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$9.1$
d
Work done in a coil

$W=m B\left(\cos \theta_{1}-\cos \theta_{2}\right)$

When it is rotated by angle $180^{o}$ then

$W=2 m B=2(N I A) B$                   .......... $(i)$

Given: $N=250$,  $I=85\, \mu \mathrm{A}=85 \times 10^{-6}\, \mathrm{A}$

$A=1.25 \times 2.1 \times 10^{-4}\, \mathrm{m}^{2}=2.5 \times 10^{-4}\, \mathrm{m}^{2}$

$B=0.85\, \mathrm{T}$

Putting these values in eqn. $(i)$, we get

$W= 2 \times 250 \times 85 \times 10^{-6} \times 2.5 \times 10^{-4} \times 0.85$

$=9.1 \times 10^{-6} \,\mathrm{J}=9.1\, \mu \mathrm{J}$

MCQ 101 Mark
If $\theta _1$ and $\theta_2$ be the apparent angles of dip observed in two vertical planes at right angles to each other, then the true angle of dip $\theta$ is given by 
  • $\cot ^2 \theta=\cot ^2 \theta_1+\cot ^2 \theta_2$
  • B
    $\tan ^2 \theta=\tan ^2 \theta_1+\tan ^2 \theta_2$
  • C
    $\cot ^2 \theta=\cot ^2 \theta_1-\cot ^2 \theta_2$
  • D
    $\tan ^2 \theta=\tan ^2 \theta_1-\tan ^2 \theta_2$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\cot ^2 \theta=\cot ^2 \theta_1+\cot ^2 \theta_2$
a
Let $B_H$ and $B_v$ be the horizontal and vertical components of earth's magnetic field $\vec B$. Since $\theta$ is the angle of dip

$\tan \theta = \frac{B_V}{B_H}$

 or $cot\theta = \frac{B_H}{B_V}$

Suppose planes $1$ and $2$ are two mutually perpendicular planes and respectively make angles $\theta$ and $90°- \theta$ with the magnetic meridian. The vertical components of earth's magnetic field remain same in the two planes but the effective horizontal components in the planes will be

$B_{1}=B_{H} \cos \theta \text { and } B_{2}=B_{H} \sin \theta$

The angles of $\operatorname{dip} \theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ in the two planes are given by

$\tan \theta_{1}=\frac{B_{V}}{B_{1}}$

$\tan \theta_{1}=\frac{B_{V}}{B_{H} \cos \theta}$

or $\quad \cot \theta_{1}=\frac{B_{H} \sin \theta}{B_{V}}.........(ii)$

$\text { Similarly, } \cot \theta_{2}=\frac{B_{H} \sin \theta}{B_{V}}.........(iii)$

From eqns. $(ii)$ and $(iii)$

$\cot ^{2} \theta_{1}+\cot ^{2} \theta_{2}=\frac{B_{H}^{2}}{B_{V}^{2}}\left(\cos ^{2} \theta+\sin ^{2} \theta\right)=\frac{B_{H}^{2}}{B_{V}^{2}}$

$\therefore \quad \cot ^{2} \theta_{1}+\cot ^{2} \theta_{2}=\cot ^{2} \theta \quad[\text { from eqn. (i) }]$

MCQ 111 Mark
Two reasons for using soft iron as the material for electromagnets
  • high permeability and low retentivity
  • B
    low permeability and low retentivity
  • C
    low permeability and low retentivity
  • D
    low permeability and high retentivity
Answer
Correct option: A.
high permeability and low retentivity
a
Magnetic retentivity determines the magnetism left in the material after the magnetizing field has been switched off. Electromagnets are operated in conditions requiring fast reversal of polarity, so high retentivity is undesirable. Susceptibility determines to what extent the material responds to the applied field. This means it determines the extent to which the material will be magnetized when a field of given strength is applied. Therefore, electromagnets must be made of materials having high susceptibility and low retentivity. Soft iron is such a material.

A magnet of magnetic moment $M$  and pole strength $m$  is divided in two equal parts, then magnetic moment of each part will be
  • A
    $M$
  • $M/2$
  • C
    $M/4$
  • D
    $2M$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$M/2$

If cut along the axis of magnet of length $l$, then new pole strength $m' = \frac{m}{2}$and new length $l' = l$

$\therefore $New magnetic moment $M' = \frac{m}{2} \times l = \frac{{ml}}{2} = \frac{M}{2}$

If cut perpendicular to the axis of magnet, then new pole strength $m' = m$ and new length, $l' = l/2$

$\therefore $ New magnetic moment $M' = m \times \frac{l}{2} = \frac{{ml}}{2} = \frac{M}{2}$

The upper magnet hangs in the air above the lower one so that the distance between the nearest pole of the magnet is $3\,mm.$ Pole strength of the poles of each magnet will be.......$ amp × m$
  • $6.64$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $10.25$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
$6.64$
a
(a)The weight of upper magnet should be balanced by the repulsion between the two magnet
$\therefore \;\frac{\mu }{{4\pi }}.\frac{{{m^2}}}{{{r^2}}} = 50\,gm - wt$
$ \Rightarrow {10^{ - 7}} \times \frac{{{m^2}}}{{(9 \times {{10}^{ - 6}})}} = 50 \times {10^{ - 3}} \times 9.8$

(a) We know that in this case acceleration of falling magnet will be lesser than $g$. If $‘g’$ would have been acceleration, then distance covered $ = \frac{1}{2}g{t^2} = 5m$.
Now the distance covered will be less than $5\, m$. hence only option $(a)$ is correct.
