[TOPIC 1] Magnetic Dipole ang Magnetic
Field Lines
A magnet is a material or an object that produces
a magnetic field. The magnetic field is invisible
but is responsible for most notable property of
magnet.
1.1 Force Between Two
Magnetic Poles
Magnitude of force acting between two magnetic
poles is given by
=m +me
or
Where, m, and m2, are magnetic strength of poles
and kis magnetic force constant. Its ST unit is A-m,
1.2 Magnetic Field Lines
These are imaginary lines which give pictorial
‘Présentation for the magnetic field inside and
around the magnet.
Axis
0,
Their properties are given as below:
(i) These lines form continuous closed loops.
(ii) The tangent to the field line at a particular
point gives the direction of the field at that
point
(iii) Larger the density of the lines, stronger will
be the magnetic field
(iv) These lines do not intersect one another,
1.3 Magnetic Dipole
“An arrangement of two equal and opposite
magnetic poles separated by a small distance.
e.g. A bar magnet.Magnetic Dipole Moment (mM)
It represents the strength of magnets. The
magnetic dipole moment of a magnetic
dipole is
given by M=mx2!
where, m is pole strength and 2/ is dipole
length directed from Sto N.

The SI unit of magnetic dipole moment is A-
m? or J/T. It is a vector quantity and its
direction is from South pole to North pole.
