[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. - +m eee ae 214 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. Magnetic field strength at a point due to a bar magnet at (i) On axial line (end-on-position) te >>) The direction of magnetic field is along the direction of magnetic dipole moment (M). (ii) On equatorial line (broadside-on-position) Equatorial ¢ tine bb 21 —4 The direction of magnetic field is parallel to the magnetic dipole and opposite to the direction of dipole moment. 1.4 Torque on a Bar Magnet ing ‘ Uniform Magnetic Field ented by equidist i field B is representes ‘an ‘A uniform magnetic field i otlength 2nd parallel lines, NS is a bar ™: cl le is M. strength of each pol = MBsin@=M xB Torque, Mm ee a tEMxB eS @ where, @is the angle between Mand B.
