The correct Answer is:
To find the magnetization of a ferromagnetic domain in iron, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Volume of the Cube Given that the side of the cube is \(1 \, \mu m\): \[ \text{Volume} = \text{side}^3 = (1 \times 10^{-6} \, m)^3 = 1 \times 10^{-18} \, m^3 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Density of Iron The specific gravity of iron is given as \(7.9\). The density of iron can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Density} = \text{Specific Gravity} \times \text{Density of Water} \] Since the density of water is \(1000 \, kg/m^3\): \[ \text{Density} = 7.9 \times 1000 \, kg/m^3 = 7900 \, kg/m^3 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Mass of the Cube Using the density and volume, we can find the mass: \[ \text{Mass} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume} = 7900 \, kg/m^3 \times 1 \times 10^{-18} \, m^3 = 7.9 \times 10^{-15} \, kg \] ### Step 4: Convert Mass to Grams To convert the mass from kilograms to grams: \[ \text{Mass} = 7.9 \times 10^{-15} \, kg \times 1000 \, g/kg = 7.9 \times 10^{-12} \, g \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Number of Moles of Iron Using the molar mass of iron, which is \(55 \, g/mol\): \[ \text{Number of Moles} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}} = \frac{7.9 \times 10^{-12} \, g}{55 \, g/mol} = 1.43636 \times 10^{-13} \, mol \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Number of Atoms in the Cube Using Avogadro's number (\(6.022 \times 10^{23} \, atoms/mol\)): \[ \text{Number of Atoms} = \text{Number of Moles} \times \text{Avogadro's Number} = 1.43636 \times 10^{-13} \, mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \, atoms/mol \approx 8.66 \times 10^{10} \, atoms \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Total Magnetic Dipole Moment Each iron atom has a magnetic dipole moment of \(9.27 \times 10^{-24} \, A \cdot m^2\): \[ \text{Total Magnetic Dipole Moment} = \text{Number of Atoms} \times \text{Dipole Moment} = 8.66 \times 10^{10} \, atoms \times 9.27 \times 10^{-24} \, A \cdot m^2 \approx 8.04 \times 10^{-13} \, A \cdot m^2 \] ### Step 8: Calculate the Magnetization of the Domain Magnetization \(M\) is defined as the total magnetic dipole moment per unit volume: \[ M = \frac{\text{Total Magnetic Dipole Moment}}{\text{Volume}} = \frac{8.04 \times 10^{-13} \, A \cdot m^2}{1 \times 10^{-18} \, m^3} = 8.04 \times 10^{5} \, A/m \] ### Final Result The magnetization of the domain is approximately: \[ M \approx 8.04 \times 10^{5} \, A/m \]
