Assertion: We cannot think of magnetic field configuration with three poles. Reason: A bar magnet does exert a torque on itself due to its own field.

A bar magnet is placed with its north pole towards geographic north. The neutral point

Assertion: If a compass needle be kept at magnetic north pole of the earth, the compass needle may stay in any direction. Reason: Dip needle will stay vertical at the north pole of earth.

Draw a diagram to illustrate the magnetic lines of force between the south poles of two magnets.

A conducting thick copper rod of length lm carries a current of 15 A and is located on the Earth's equator. There the magnetic flux lines of the Earth's magnetic field are horizontal, with the field of 1.3 xx 10^-4 T , south to north. magnetic and direction of the force on the rod, when it is oriented so that current flows from west to east, are

A short bar magnet with its north pole facing north forms a neutral point at P in the horizontal plane. If the magnet is rotated by 90^(@) in the horizontal plane, the net magnetic induction at P is (Horizontal component of earth's magnetic field =B_(H))

A short bar magnet has magnetic moment 20 Am^2 . The axis of the magnet is in the magnetic meridian with the south pole pointing north. The horizontal component of earth's magnetic field at that place is 3 xx 10^-5 T. Find the point on the axis of the magnet at which the resultant magnetic field is zero, [such a point is called a neutral point].

How will you do this? Find the north pole of a magnet.
