Understanding +4 | -1
A bar magnet is characterized by
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
all of these
Option D (all of these) is correct because a bar magnet exhibits directional properties, attracts magnetic materials, and induces magnetism in other materials.

A magnet placed in the magnetic meridian with its north pole pointing north of the earth produces a neutral point at a distance of 0.15 m0.15 \mathrm{~m} from either pole. It is then broken into two equal pieces and one such piece is placed in a similar position. Find the position of the neutral point.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
0.119 m
Option A (0.119 m) is correct because when the magnet is broken, its magnetic moment changes, and the new distance to the neutral point can be calculated using the relationship between magnetic field and distance.

Correct option: A
If both (A) and (R) are true and the (R) is a correct explanation of the (A)
Option A (If both (A) and (R) are true and the (R) is a correct explanation of the (A)) is correct because electromagnets need to be easily magnetized and demagnetized, which is facilitated by the low coercivity of soft iron.

The hysteresis cycle for the material of permanent magnet is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Tall and wide
Option C (Tall and wide) is correct because a permanent magnet needs high coercivity and retentivity, resulting in a tall and wide hysteresis cycle.

The value of relative magnetic permeability of
superconductors is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
0
Option A (0) is correct because superconductors are perfectly diamagnetic, expelling all magnetic fields, resulting in a relative permeability of 0.

The earth's magnetic field varies with the ______
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
both position and time
Option C (both position and time) is correct because the Earth's magnetic field strength and direction vary depending on location and also change over time due to various factors within the Earth.
321 Medium

What happens, when a magnetic substance is
heated?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
It loses its magnetism
Option A is correct because heating a magnetic substance above its Curie temperature causes it to lose its magnetism due to the randomization of atomic magnetic moments.

Reason (R): Steel is not a magnetic substance.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If (A) is true but the (R) is false
Option C (If (A) is true but the (R) is false) is correct because steel is attracted by a magnet, but steel is a magnetic substance.

If the liquid in a U tube rises to a high level in
the limb placed between poles of an
electromagnet, then the liquid is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
paramagnetic
