Let’s try this :
Determine the directions in the class or laboratory. Tie a thread to the centre of a bar magnet and hang it from a stand. Note the direction in which the magnet settles and turn around again. Let it settle and note the direction. Do this many times. What do you observe ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let’s try this : Fix a bar magnet to a stand as shown in the figure. Let it become steady. Take another bar magnet near the hanging bar magnet. Observe what happens. Do the same again and again, exchanging the ends of a magnet. What do you see ?

Let’s try this : Fix a powerful bar magnet to a stand as shown in the figure. Fix an iron bar at a short distance below the magnet. Take iron filings near the iron bar. What do you see ?

Let’s try this : Place some iron filings on a sheet of paper and pass a bar magnet by holding it in the centre. What do you see ?

Let’s try this : Take a bar magnet that can be cut with scissors or a knife. Take iron filings on a sheet of paper and place the magnet on it. Most of the iron filings will be seen to stick to its poles. Now cut the magnet into two pieces as shown in the picture and place those pieces on iron filings. Pick up each piece and observe. What do you find ?

Let's try this : Take a needle or a nail. Place it steady on a table. Keep on rubbing a magnet over it from one end to the other. Do this 7-8 times. Now take a few pins near that needle/nail. What is seen?

Answer the following questions : Take two coils of about 50 turns. Insert them over a nonconducting cylindrical roll as shown in fig. A thick paper roll can be used . Connect coil 1 to a battery with a plug key k. Connect coil 2 to a galvanometer G. plug the key and observe the deflection in the galvanometer. Unplug the key and again observe the deflection. Note ( your observations. What conclusions do you draw from these observations?

A long solenoid consisting of 1.5xx10^3 turns//m has an area of cross-section of 25 cm^2 . A coil C, consisting of 150 turns (N_c) is wound tightly around the centre of the solenoid. Calculate for a current of 3.0 A in the solenoid (a) the magnetic flux density at the centre of the solenoid, (b) the flux linkage in the coil C, (c) the average emf induced in coil C if the current in the solenoid is reversed in direction in a time of 0.5 s. (mu0=4pixx10^-7 T.m//A) .
