A compass needle which is allowed to move in a horizontal plane is taken to a geomagnetic pole. It

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Will stay in any position

Option B (Will stay in any position) is correct because at the geomagnetic pole, the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is zero, so the compass needle is free to rotate in any direction.

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

. When

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.
