Definitions [11]
Define ampere.
Current passed through each of the two infinitely long parallel straight conductors kept at a distance of one meter apart in vacuum causes each conductor to experience a force of 2 × 10-7 newton per meter length of the conductor.
A long solenoid is a coil whose length is much greater than its radius, producing a uniform magnetic field inside and nearly zero field outside.
Define the term ‘current sensitivity’ of a moving coil galvanometer.
The current sensitivity of a galvanometer is defined as the deflection produced in the galvanometer when a unit current flows through it.
Mathematically, it can be given by:
IS = `(NBA)/k`
Where k is the couple per unit twist.
Current sensitivity is defined as the deflection e per unit current.
Define Curie temperature.
The temperature above which a ferromagnetic substance becomes paramagnetic is called curie temperature.
Define magnetic intensity.
The ratio of the strength of the magnetizing field to the permeability of free space is called magnetic intensity.
Define magnetization.
The ratio of magnetic moment to the volume of the material is called magnetization.
Define the agonic line.
A line which joins all the places on earth, having zero angle of declination is called agonic line.
Define the isoclinic line.
A line joining all the places on globe, having same angle of dip or inclination is called isoclinic line.
Define magnetic field lines of force.
The path in a magnetic field in which a unit north pole tends to move when allowed to do so is known as magnetic field lines of force.
Define the Isogonic line.
A line that joins all the places on earth, having the same angle of declination is called an isogonic line.
Define the following term:
Ferromagnetism
Ferromagnetism is defined as the phenomenon in which substances, such as iron, cobalt and nickel, are strongly attracted by a magnetic field. Such substances are called ferromagnetic substances.
Formulae [4]
\[\vec{E}=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}\hat{r}\]
\[\vec{B}=\frac{\mu_0IR^2}{2(x^2+R^2)^{3/2}}\hat{i}\]
Where:
- I = current
- R = radius of loop
- x = distance from centre along axis
- μ0 = permeability of free space
B = μ0nI
Where:
- μ0 = permeability of free space
- n = number of turns per unit length
- I = current
\[\vec{m}=I\vec{A}\]
For N turns:
\[\vec{m}=NI\vec{A}\]
Theorems and Laws [1]
State Tangent Law in magnetism.
Tangent law states that, if a magnetic field ‘B’ is applied at right angles to the horizontal component of the earth's field BH, the needle comes to equilibrium at an angle ‘ to the magnetic meridian such that, tan θ = `B/B_H`.
