When a gas is introduced between the pole-pieces of a magnet, it spreads at right angles to the magnetic field. The gas is

The strength of the magnetic field between the poles of an electromagnet would be unchanged if :

A small coil is introduced between the poles of an electromagnet so that its axis coincides with the magnetic field direction. The cross-sectional area of the coil is equal to S = 3.0 mm^2 , the number of turns is N = 60 . When the coil turns through 180^@ about its diameter, a galvanometer connected to the coil indicates a charge q = 4.5muC flowing through it. Find the magnetic induction magnitude between the poles, provided the total resistance of the electric circuit equals R = 40 Omega .

A thin diamagnetic rod is placed vertically between the poles of an electromagnet. When the current in the electromagnetic is switched on, then the diamagnetic rod is pushed up, out of the horizontal magnetic field. Hence the rod gains horizontal potential energy. the work required to do this comes from
