A toroid of n turns, mean radius R and cross-sectional radius a carries current I. It is placed on a horizontal table taken as xy-plane. Its magnetic moment m
(a) Is non-zero and points in the z-direction by symmetry
(b) Points along the axis of the toroid (m = m?)
(c) Is zero, otherwise there would be a field failing as 1/r3 at large distances outside the toroid
(d) Is pointing radially outwards.

Answer- (c)
Explanation- magnetic field outside the toroid is inversely proportional to distance
Use (i) The Ampere’s law for H and (ii) Continuity of lines of B, to conclude that inside a bar magnet, (a) Lines of H run from the A-pole to S-pole, while (b) Lines of B must run from the S-pole to A-pole

Explanation- in the given figure let C be the amperian loop then,

= .dl
between B and dl is less than 90 degree so
= . dl>0
So magnetic field from south pole to north pole inside the bar magnet
So according to ampere

A ball of superconducting material is dipped in liquid nitrogen and placed near a bar magnet.
(i) In which direction will it move?
(ii) What will be the direction of its magnetic moment?
Explanation- When a diamagnetic material is dipped in liquid nitrogen, it again behaves as a diamagnetic material. Thus, superconducting material will again behave as a diamagnetic material. When this diamagnetic material is placed near a bar magnet, it will be feebly magnetised opposite to the dire

Explanation - = I/H
Diamagnetism is due to orbital motion of electrons in an atom developing magnetic moments opposite to applied field. Thus, the resultant magnetic moment of the diamagnetic material is zero and hence, the s
