 CERTIFICATE

This is to certify that ANKIT PATELof class 12 Science has satisfactorily

completed the project entitled:

“Tracing the path of lines due to a bar magnet in Earth’s magnetic

field north pointing north and north pointing south”

As a part of his higher secondary course in physics for the session

2022-23. This work has been carried out in school laboratory, under
my guidance and supervision.

I appreciate the submission of the project report,

prepared by ANKITA PATEL . I further certify that he bears a
good moral character and I wish her success in life.

 AKNOWLEDGMENT

It gives me immense pleasure to express my heartiest gratitude to my

project guide Mr. S. Nepak sir and lab assistant teachers in providing in
valuable guidance and encouragement throughout the period of this
work.

Its my privilege to have worked under his guidance, without his all
around support it would have not been possible to complete the work
within the specified time.

Am also thankful to our principal Mr. P.K. Nayak sir for providing all
necessary facilities required during the course of this project.

ROLL NO.:
 EXPERIMENT NO. – 1
Aim Of Demonstration:-
To trace the line of force, due to a bar magnet in earth’s magnetic field (north
over north) and find the null point.

Requirement:-
1. Bar Magnet
2. Compass needle
3. Sheet of white paper
4. A drawing board, with pins

Theory:
A line of force is a curve at the magnetic field, such that the tangent drawn at
-
any point of the curve gives the direction of resultant magnetic field, at the
point.
If a bar magnet be kept in magnetic meridian with its N- pole pointing towards
the geographic north of the earth. The fields due to the magnetic and Earth are
in the same direction at the point on the axial line and are in the opposite
direction of points on the equatorial line.
So, the resultant field is stronger at the axial line and weaker at the equatorial
line.
Magnetic field at null point;
Beq = BH = (μo/4π) (m/r3)
Where,
r =distance of each null point from the centre of the magnet
m = dipole moment
A neutral point is a point, where the resultant magnetic field is zero. At this point
the magnetic field due to the magnet is equal and opposite to the horizontal
component of earth’s magnetic field.
Procedure:-
1. A paper sheet was perfectly placed over the drawing board and fixed with
the help of wax.
2. The magnetic needle was placed at the centre of the paper sheet and the
magnetic meridian was found out.
3. The given bar magnet was placed along magnetic meridian, with its N-pole
pointing towards the geographic north (magnetic south) of earth.
4. The magnetic needle was then placed near one end of the magnet, where
the deflection of the needle stops. Two dot marks were given on paper
corresponding to the position of both ends of the needle.
5. The magnetic needle was then placed at the subsequent position so that
one end of it coincides with farther point already plotted by dot mark. This
was continued till a series of dots were drawn due to bar magnet in the
earth’s magnetic field symmetrically on both sides of the paper.
6. The neutral point was located by observing the point where no magnetic
influence was felt by the needle. This can be done by rotating the needle
point where it feely round, is neutral point.
7. Neutral point was found out on the equatorial line.

Conclusion:-

We find that if a bar manet, kept in a magnetic meridian with its N-pole pointing
towards geographical north of the earth, the field due to the magnet and the
earth are in the same direction at the point on the axial line opposite at the
equatorial line. So, the resultant field is stronger at the axial line and weaker on
the equatorial line.

Precautions:
-
• No two lines of force cross each other.
• Null point should be symmetrical, with respect to the magnetic field.

Aim Of Demonstration:-

To trace the line of force, due to a bar magnet in earth’s magnetic field
(north over south) and find the null point.

Requirement:-

1. Bar Magnet
2. Compass needle
3. Sheet of white paper
4. A drawing board, with pins

Theory:
-
A line of force is a curve at the magnetic field, such that the tangent drawn at
any point of the curve gives the direction of resultant magnetic field, at the
point.
If a bar magnet be kept in magnetic meridian with its S- pole pointing towards
the geographic north of the earth. The fields due to the magnetic and Earth are
in the same direction at the point on the axial line of the magnet.
So the resultant field is weaker at the axial line and stronger at the equatorial
line. The null point is on the axial line.
Magnetic field at null point;
Baxial= BH=(πo/4π) (m/r3)
Where,
r =distance of each null point from the centre of the magnet
m = dipole moment
A neutral point is a point, where the resultant magnetic field is zero. At this point
the magnetic field due to the magnet is equal and opposite to the horizontal
component of earth’s magnetic field.
Procedure:-

1. A paper sheet was perfectly placed over the drawing board and fixed with
the help of wax.
2. The magnetic needle was placed at the centre of the paper sheet and the
magnetic meridian was found out.
3. The given bar magnet was placed along magnetic meridian, with its S-pole
pointing towards the geographic north (magnetic south) of earth.
4. The magnetic needle was then placed near one end of the magnet, where
the deflection of the needle stops. Two dot marks were given on paper
corresponding to the position of both ends of the needle.
5. The magnetic needle was then placed at the subsequent position so that
one end of it coincides with farther point already plotted by dot mark. This
was continued till a series of dots were drawn. In this way, several lines of
forces were drawn on both sides of paper.
6. The neutral point was located by observing the point where no magnetic
influence was felt by the needle. This can be done by rotating the needle
point where it feely round, is neutral point.
7. Neutral point was found out on the equatorial line.

Conclusion:-

We find that if a bar manet, kept in a magnetic meridian with its N-pole pointing
towards geographical north of the earth, the field due to the magnet and the
earth are in the same direction at the point on the axial line opposite at the
equatorial line. So, the resultant field is stronger at the axial line and weaker on
the equatorial line.

Precautions:
-
• No two lines of force cross each other.
• Null point should be symmetrical, with respect to the magnetic field.
• Lines of force must from N-pole and at S-pole.
