Question 14 Marks
To keep valuable instruments away from the earth's magnetic field, they are enclosed in iron boxes. Explain.
Answer
As we know that iron have high permeability, therefore it will provide easy path for the magnetic field lines to pass. As a result of this, all the magnetic field lines of earth's magnetic field will prefer to pass through the wall of the box making magnetic field inside the box zero. Hence, it will keep the valuable instruments away from the earth's magnetic field.

Question 24 Marks
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.
