Definitions [8]
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 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 agonic line.
A line which joins all the places on earth, having zero angle of declination is called agonic 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 isoclinic line.
A line joining all the places on globe, having same angle of dip or inclination is called isoclinic line.
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`.
