प्रश्न
Suppose we want to verify the analogy between electrostatic and magnetostatic by an explicit experiment. Consider the motion of (i) electric dipole p in an electrostatic field E and (ii) magnetic dipole m in a magnetic field B. Write down a set of conditions on E, B, p, m so that the two motions are verified to be identical. (Assume identical initial conditions.)

उत्तर
Let θ is the angle between `vecm` and `vecB`
∴ Torque on magnetic dipole in a magnetic field B is
`τ = vecm vecB sin θ` ......(I)
Similarly of θ is the angle between electric dipole moment `vecp` and electric field E then torque on electric dipole in E is
`τ = vecp vecE sin θ` ......(II)
For if motion in I and II of electric and magnetic dipole are identical then τ' = τ
`vecp vecE sin θ = vecm vecB sin θ`
Or `vecpvecE = vecmvecB` .....(III)
We know that `vecE = veccvecB` (relation between E and B) ......(IV)
c is velocity of light
Put the value of E from IV in III
`vecpcB = vecmvecB`
| `vecp = vecm/c` |
It is the required relation.

An iron needle is attracted to the ends of a bar magnet but not to the middle region of the magnet. Is the material making up the ends of a bare magnet different from that of the middle region?
Two bar magnets are placed close to each other with their opposite poles facing each other. In absence of other forces, the magnets are pulled towards each other and their kinetic energy increases. Does it contradict our earlier knowledge that magnetic forces cannot do any work and hence cannot increase kinetic energy of a system?
