MAGNETIC FIELD LINES Magnetic Field: The space around a magnet (or a conductor carrying current) where its magnetic effect can be experienced. A magnetic field line is the path along which an isolated north pole will tend to move, if placed inside a magnetic field. The magnetic field lines give the visual representation of the magnetic field. Properties The magnetic field lines form continuous closed loops. The tangent to the field line at a point represents the direction of the net magnetic field at that point. The larger the number of field lines crossing per unit area, the stronger is the magnitude of magnetic field. Two magnetic field lines of the same field do not intersect, for if they did, the direction of the magnetic field would not be unique at the point of intersection. Bar Magnet as an Equivalent Solenoid The magnetic field lines of a bar magnet and a solenoid are similar. A bar magnet can be thought of as a large number of circulating currents similar to that of a solenoid. The strength of magnetic field along the axial line and equatorial line of a solenoid and a bar magnet have similar expressions. MAGNETIC FIELD DUE TO A MAGNETIC DIPOLE ALONG AXIAL LINE Consider a bar magnet NS, whose each pole is of strength m. Let 2l be the magnetic length of the magnet and O be its centre. Let p be a point on axial line of the magnet at a distance r from the centre of the magnet. The magnetic field Baxial at point P due to the bar magnet will be the resultant of the magnetic fields B1 (due to N-pole of the bar magnet) and B2 (due to S-pole of the bar magnet), i.e. Baxial B1 B2 μ μ m m 0 (along px ) Now = B1 0 4π (NP)2 4π (r l ) 2 μ μ m m And = B2 0 0 (along PS ) 2 4π (SP) 4π ( r l ) 2 It follows that B1 is greater than B2 .

DIPOLE IN UNIFORM MAGNETIC FIELD Torque on a Magnetic Dipole in a Uniform Magnetic Field: Let a magnet NS having pole strength M and length 2l be placed in a uniform magnetic field of strength B making an angle with the direction of magnetic field lines. The expression can be derive using the same same method as in electrostatic and moving charge in magnetism. The expression of torque on the bar magnet is τ M B Magnitude of torque: τ MBsin θ
4.
POTENTIAL ENERGY OF A BAR MAGNET PLACED IN A MAGNETIC FIELD The magnitude of torque acting on a magnetic dipole of moment M in a magnetic field of strength B is given by τ M B sin θ This torque tends to align the magnet along the direction of the field. If the magnet is to be rotated against the action of this torque, then work has to be done. Suppose that the magnet is rotated through an infinitesimally small angle d under the action of the constant torque t. Work Required dw τ dθ ; dw M B sin dθ

Suppose magnet is initially perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, i.e. 1 = 90°. Then potential energy of the magnet in any position making an angle with the direction of the field can be obtained by setting 1 90 and 2 in equation U = MB (cos 90° – cos θ °) = – M B cos θ U M B Physics/Class XII

Thus, dipole possesses minimum potential energy, when M and B are like parallel and maximum potential energy when M and B anti parallel. GAUSS’S LAW IN MAGNETISM An isolated magnetic pole does not exist. In other words, a surface may enclose a magnetic dipole i.e. a pair of equal and opposite magnetic poles so that the net pole strength enclosed by the surface is zero. Therefore, the magnetic analogue of Gauss’s law in electrostatic may be stated as B ds 0 , i.e., surface integral of magnetic field B over a closed surface is always zero. It is called Gauss’s law in magnetism. 1. If a number of magnetic field lines are leaving a closed surface, an equal number of field lines must also be entering the surface. 2. Isolated magnetic poles do not exist, i.e., magnetic poles exist in pairs of equal strengths. THE EARTH’S MAGNETISM A vertical plane passing through the geographic axis is called the geographic meridian.
A vertical plane passing through the magnetic axis of the earth is called magnetic meridian. Elements of Earth’s Magnetism The physical quantities, which determine the intensity of earth’s total magnetic field completely (both in magnitude and direction), are called magnetic elements. They are: (i) Magnetic Declination: Declination at a place is the angle between the geographic meridian and the magnetic meridian. It is denoted by . In the figure, ABCD and AB´C´D represent magnetic and geographic meridians respectively. BAB θ represents the magnetic declination. (ii) Magnetic Inclination or Dip: Dip at a place is defined as the angle made by the direction of earth’s total magnetic field with the horizontal direction. It is denoted by . In the figure, BAP is the angle of dip. (iii) Horizontal Component of Earth’s Magnetic Field: It is the component of earth’s magnetic field along the horizontal direction. It is denoted by BH. From point P (refer to the figure), if we drop PL perpendicular to AB and PM perpendicular to AD. Then AL and AM represent horizontal component (BH) and vertical component (BV) of earth’s magnetic field. In right ALP, cos δ

MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS Different materials show different magnetic behaviour e.g. iron, steel, cobalt and nickel are strongly magnetised whereas aluminium, copper, gold, mercury etc, are weakly magnetised in an applied magnetic field. Curie’s law Curie’s Law can be stated as, magnetic susceptibility of a material varies inversely with temperature (in Kelvin). Curie discovered experimentally that intensity of magnetisation I of a magnetic material is directly proportional to magnetic field intensity B and inversely proportationl to the temperature T (in kelvin) i.e.,

where C is called Curie constant. Increase in magnetisation (I) with decrease in temperature has a limit when the material becomes saturated. Figure I shows a curve between (I) and (B / T). Once saturation is achieved further decrease in temperature does not bring change in magnetisation. Curie temperature for iron is about 1000 K, for cobalt it is about 1400 K and for nickel it is about 600 K. Classification / Categoes of Magnetic Material. Faraday divided the materials in three classes according to their magnetic behaviour : (a) Ferromagnetic Materials : The materials which are strongly magnetised in the direction of the applied magnetic field are known as Ferromagnetic Materials. Iron, steel, nickel, cobalt and alloy’s like alnico (aluminium + nickel + cobalt) are ferromagnetic materials. Ferromagnetic substances can be easily magnetised. Ferromagnetic effect is noticed even in the presence of weak magnetic field. with the rise in temperature it becomes comparitively less easier to magnetise the ferromagnetic substance. (b) Paramagnetic Materials : The materials which are weakly magnetised in the direction of applied magnetic field are known as Paramagnetic Materials. Aluminium, chromium, manganese platium, antimony, sodium, copper chloride, salt solutions of iron and nickel, liquid oxygen, cross glass etc are paramagnetic materials. Paramagnetic materials. Aluminium, chromium, managanese platinum, antimony, sodium, copper chloride, salt solutions of iron and nickel, liquid oxygen, cross glass etc, are paramagnetic materials. Paramagnetic materials tend to lose their magnetic behaviour the rise in temperature. Paramagnetic materials can not be easily magnetised.

They require very strong magnetic field to show magnetic properties. Their magnetic behaviour normally does not depend upon change in temperature.

HYSTERESIS The lag of intensity of magnetisation behind the magnetising field during the process of magnetisation and demagnetisation of a ferromagnetic material is called Hysteresis. The graph plotted with B against H for a ferromagnetic substance is referred to as hysteresis loop. It is shown below. In the figure, B increases non-linearly with H along OPA. If H is reduced to zero, B does not fall back to zero along the same curve, but decreases along path ABC, i.e. it is non retraceable. The lagging of B behind H is called hysteresis. Also, when H becomes zero, B does not do so. It has a certain value Br equivalent to OB (in the figure). Retentivity is a measure of this remaining field. Further, if H is increased in the reverse direction, the value of B reduces and becomes zero when H has value Hc = OC. This value of magnetic field is called coercive force or coercivity of the specimen. B B2 BH = B has the dimensions of energy per unit volume. Therefore, the area within the BH loop represents 0 r
energy dissipated per unit volume in the material. Retentivity: The measure of the magnetic field remaining in the specimen when the magnetising field is removed. Coercivity: The value of reverse magnetising field required so as to reduce residual magnetism to zero. Both coercivity and retentivity depend on the nature of the material. 10. PERMANENT MAGNETS AND ELECTROMAGNETS Permanent Magnets
Permanent magnets are the ferromagnetic substances which retain magnetism for a long time at room temperature.
One method to make a permanent magnet is to continuously run one end of a magnet on a fixed steel rod always in one direction. The steel rod then acquires permanent magnetism.
Another method is to use electric current. When a current is passed through a solenoid containing a steel rod, then the rod acquires permanent magnetism.
Steel or hard iron or hard alloys of iron like alnico are considered best for making permanent magnets.
Electromagnets
Soft iron has large permeability and small retentivity and hence is suitable for making electromagnets.
When a current is passed through a solenoid wound around a rod of soft iron, magnetic field inside the iron rod increases many times making it an electromagnet.
On switching off the current, magnetic field more or less vanishes due to small retentivity of soft iron.
The soft iron rod will act as a magnet only as long as there is current in the solenoid. Electric bells, loud-speakers and telephone receivers use electromagnets. Huge electromagnets are used in cranes to lift heavy things made of iron.
