Assertion(A): The poles of magnet cannot be separated by breaking into two pieces.

Reason(R): The magnetic moment will be reduced to half when a magnet is broken into two equal pieces.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

If both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not a correct explanation of the (A)

Option B is correct because the poles of a magnet cannot be separated, and while the magnetic moment is reduced when broken, it's not the reason why poles can't be separated.

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.
