SECTION – A

Q. 1. Choose the correct option : [4]

  (i) The SI unit of magnetic field [induction] is
(a) the farad (b) the henry
(c) the tesla (d) the weber. [1]
 (ii) Which of the following is true for a bar magnet ?
(a) The relevant physical quantity is its magnetic dipole moment.
(b) The magnetic dipole moment is a vector whose length is equal to
the magnetic length of the magnet.
(c) Its two magnetic poles are real physical entities.
(d) Its two magnetic poles are always symmetrically placed from the
geometrical centre of the bar magnet. [1]
(iii) Two points, at distances x and 3x from a short magnetic dipole,
lie 180° apart. The ratio of the magnetic field inductions at these points
is
(a) 1 : 27 (b) 1 : 9 (c) 9 : 1 (d) 27 : 1. [1]
(iv) On a magnetic map, a line connecting points where the Earth’s
magnetic field is same is called
(a) an isoclinic line (b) an isodynamic line
(c) an isogonic line (d) the magnetic equator. [1]

Q. 2. Answer the following : [2]

 (i) State the dimensions and SI unit of magnetic dipole moment. [1]
(ii) The vertical and horizontal components of the Earth’s magnetic field
at a place are 2  10  5 T and mn12  10  5 T, respectively. Calculate the
dip angle at that place. [1]

SECTION – B

Q. 3. W
 hat is dip angle? What happens to dip angle as we move to magnetic
poles of the Earth from the magnetic equator? [2]

Q. 4. A
 magnet, making an angle of 45° with the horizontal, lies in a plane
which makes an angle of 30° with the magnetic meridian. Find the true
value of the dip angle at the place. [2]

Q. 5. State the expressions for the magnetic field induction due to a bar magnet at
a point on its (i) axis (ii) equator. Hence, deduce the expressions in the case
of a short bar magnet. [3]

Q. 6. Determine the dipole moment of a short bar magnet of magnetic length
2 cm, if the magnetic field produced by this magnet at a point 20 cm from
the centre of the magnet and on the line making an angle of 60° with the axis
is 3.75   10–5 T. [μ0 = 4π × 10  7 T·m/A] [3]

due to a short magnetic dipole. [4]
