5.21 Magnitude of one of the magnetic fields, = 1.2 T
Let the magnitude of other magnetic field be =
Angle between two fields, = 60
At stable equilibrium, the angle between the dipole and the field , = =
Angle between the dipole and the field , = - = 60 - =
At rotational equilibrium, the torques between both the fields must balance each other.
i.e. Torque due to field = Torque due to field
M = M
= =4.39 T

5.20 Number of turns in the circular coil, n = 30
Radius of the circular coil, r = 12 cm = 0.12 m
Current in the coil, I = 0.35 A
Angle of dip, = 45
The magnetic field due to current I at a distance r is given by
B = , where
= Permeability of free space = 4 T m
Then B = T
The compass needle points from West to East. Hence, the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is given as = B =
= 3.88 T = 0.388 G
When the current in the coil is reversed and the coil is rotated about its vertical axis by an angle 90, the needle will reverse its original direction. In this case needle will point from East to West.

5.19 Number of horizontal wires in the telephone cable, n = 4
Current in each wire, I = 1.0 A
The Earth's magnetic field at a location, H = 0.39 G = 0.39 T
Angle of dip at the location, = 35
Angle of declination, 0
For a point 4.0 cm below the cable, r = 4.0 cm = 0.04 m
The horizontal component of earth's magnetic field can be written as
= H - B, where
B = Magnetic field at 4 cm due to current I in four wires = 4
= Permeability of free space = 4 T m
Then B = 4 = 2 T = 0.2 T = 0.2 G
= H – B = 0.39 - 0.2 = 0.12 T= 0.12 G
The vertical component of Earth's magnetic field is given as
= H = 0.39 = 0.22 T

5.18 Current in the wire, I = 2.5 A
Angle of dip at the given location of earth, = 0
Earth's magnetic field, H = 0.33 G = 0.33 T
The horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is given as:
= H = 0.33 = 0.33 T
The magnetic field at the neutral point at a distance R from the cable is given by the relation:
= Permeability of free space = 4 T m
R = = = 15.15 m = 1.52 cm
Therefore, a set of neutral points parallel to and above the cable are located at a normal distance of 1.52 cm.

5.17 (a) The hysteresis curve of a ferromagnetic material is given below.

(b)The dissipated heat energy is directly proportional to the area of a hysteresis loop. A carbon steel piece has a greater hysteresis curve area. Hence, it dissipates greater heat energy.
(c) The value of magnetisation is memory or record of hysteresis loop cycles of magnetisation. These bits of information correspond to the cycle of magnetisation. Hysteresis loops can be used for storing information.
(d) Ceramic is used for coating magnetic tapes in cassette players and for building memory stores in modern computers.
(e) A certain region of space can be sh

5.16 (a) Due to random thermal motion of molecules, the alignment of dipoles gets disrupted at high temperatures. On cooling, this disruption is reduced. Hence, a paramagnetic sample displays greater magnetisation when cooled.
(b) The induced dipole moment in a diamagnetic substance is always opposite to the magnetising field. Hence, the internal motion of atoms (which is related to the temperature) does not affect the diamagnetism of a material.
(c) Bismuth is a diamagnetic substance. Hence, a toroid with a bismuth core has a magnetic field slightly greater than toroid whose core is empty.
(d) The permeability of ferromagnetic ma

5.15 Magnetic moment of the bar magnet, M = 5.25 J/T
Magnitude of Earth's magnetic field at that place, H = 0.42 G = 0.42 T
The magnetic field at a distance R from the centre of the magnet on the normal bisector is given by the relation:
B = , where
= Permeability of free space = 4 T m and M = magnetic moment
When the resultant field is inclined at 45 with earth's field, B = H
B = = H

R = 0.05 m = 5 cm
The magnetic field at a distance from the centre of the magnet on its axis is given as:

5.14 The magnetic field on the axis of the magnet at a distance = 14 cm, can be written as
= = H ……………….(1)
where = Permeability of free space = 4 T m and M = magnetic moment
If the bar magnet is turned through 180 , then the neutral point will lie on the equatorial line. Hence, the magnetic field at a distance , on the equatorial line of the magnet can be written as:
= = H ……………….(2)
where = Permeability of free space = 4 T m and M = magnetic moment
Equating (1) and (2), we get
=
=
= 14 = 11.11 cm
The new null points will be located 11.11 cm on the normal bisector.

5.13 Earth's magnetic field at the given place, H = 0.36 G
The magnetic field at a distance d, on the axis of the magnet is given as
= = H ……………….(1)
where = Permeability of free space = 4 T m and M = magnetic moment
Total magnetic field, B = = H + = 0.36 + 0.18 = 0.54 G
Therefore, the magnetic field is 0.54 G in the direction of earth's magnetic field.
