The magnetic moment of a current (i) carrying circular coil of radius (r) and number of turns (n) varies asA. `1//r^2`B. `1//r `C. `r `D. `r^(2) `

Answer» Correct Answer - D
From the formula , the magnetic moment of a current carrying circular coil is given by
`M=niA-nipir^2`
where , r is the radius of circular coil.
Therefore , magnetic moment is proportional to ` r^(2)`.

A particle of charge `q` and mass `m` moves in a circular orbit of radius `r` with angular speed `omega`. The ratio of the magnitude of its magnetic moment to that of its angular momentum depends onA. `(q)/(2m)`B. `(q omega r^(2))/(2)`C. `(q omega)/(2m r^(2))`D. `( q omega r^(2))/(2m) `

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The relation between magnetic moment `(mu_l)` and angular momentum (L) is ` mu_l=-(q)/(2m)L`
`implies (mu_l)/L=(q)/(2m)`
The negative sign indicates that the angular momentum of the electron is opposite in direction to the magnetic moment.

Write a note on earth's magnetic field ? 

Answer»

The strength of the earth magnetic field value being of the order of 10 T. 

The magnetic field is now thought to arise due to electrical currents produced by convective motion of metallic fluids (consisting mostly of molten iron and nickel) in the outer core of the earth. This is known as the dynamo effect. 

The magnetic field lines of the earth resemble that of a (hypothetical) magnetic dipole located at the centre of the earth. The axis of the dipole does not coincide with the axis of rotation of the earth but is presently titled by approximately 11º.3" with respect to the later. In this way of looking at it, the magnetic poles are located where the magnetic field lines due to the dipole enter or leave the earth. The location of the north magnetic pole is at a latitude of 79º.74” N and a longitude of 71.8” W, a place somewhere in north Canada. The magnetic south pole is at 79º.74” S, 108º.22” E in the Antarctica. 

The pole near the geographic north pole of the earth is called the north magnetic pole. Likewise, the pole near the geographic south pole is called the south magnetic pole. There is some confusion in the nomenclature of the poles. If one looks at the magnetic field lines of the earth , one sees that unlike in the case of a bar magnet, the field lines go into the earth at the north magnetic pole (Nm) and come out from the south magnetic pole (Sm). The convention arose because the magnetic north was the direction to which the north pole of a magnetic needle pointed; the north pole of a magnet was so named as it was the north seeking pole. Thus, in reality, the north magnetic pole behaves like the south pole of a bar magnet inside the earth and vice versa.
