A vertical pillar of soft iron partially embedded in earth, at south pole, is found to be magnetized by the earth's magnetic field. The polarity at the top end of the pillar will be

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

North pole

Option B is correct. The top end of the soft iron pillar will be a North pole because the Earth's magnetic field lines enter the Earth at the North pole and exit at the South pole. The pillar acts as a temporary magnet.

Assertion: If a unit north pole rotates around a current carrying wire then work has to be done.
Reason: Magnetic field produced by current is always non - conservative in nature. The magnetic length of a bar magnet is 15 cm then its geometric length is If area vector

\vec A = 2\vec i - 3\vec j + 6\vec k\,{m^2}

flux density vector

\vec B = - 3\vec i + \vec j + 2\vec k\,\left( {Wb/{m^2}} \right)

. Then magnetic flux linked with the coil is [Wb] The area of hysteresis loop of a material is equivalent to

250\;joule

10\;kg

material is magnetized by an alternating field of

50\;Hz

then energy lost in one hour will be (density of material is

7.5\;gm/c{m^3}

) A bar magnet of moment

M

is placed in the magnetic field

B

. The torque acting on the magnet is Assertion(A): Earth's magnetic field inside a closed iron box is less as compared to the out side.

Reason(R): The magnetic permeability of iron is low.
