The molecular theory of magnetism was given by Weber and modified later by Ewing. According to this theory.

Every molecule of a substance is a complete magnet in itself. However, in an magnetised substance the molecular magnets are randomly oriented to give zero net magnetic moment. On magnetising, the molecular magnets are realigned in a specific direction leading to a net magnetic moment.

(Unmagnetised)                                                       (Magnetised)

Note : @ On heating/hammering the magnetism of magnetic substance reduces.

 

Bar Magnet.

A bar magnet consist of two equal and opposite magnetic pole separated by a small distance. Poles are not exactly at the ends. The shortest distance between two poles is called effective length (Le) and is less then its geometric length (Lg).

 

 

 

 

 

  • Directive properties : When a magnet suspended freely it stays in the earth’s NS direction (in magnetic meridian).

 

 

 

 

 

  • Monopole concept : If a magnet is Broken into number of pieces, each piece becomes a This in turn implies that monopoles do not exist. (i.e., ultimate individual unit of magnetism in any magnet is called dipole).
  • For two rods as shown, if both the rods attract in case (i) and doesn’t attract in case (ii) then, B is a magnetic and A is simple iron Repulsion is sure test of magnetism.

 

 

  • Pole strength (m) : The strength of a magnetic pole to attract magnetic materials towards itself is known as pole
    • It is a scalar
    • Pole strength of N and S pole of a magnet is conventionally represented by +m and –m
    • It’s SI unit is amp × m or N/Tesla and dimensions are [LA].
    • Pole strength of the magnet depends on the nature of material of magnet and area of cross It doesn’t depends upon length.

 

 

 

 

 

(5)  Magnetic moment or magnetic dipole moment

(M)

: It represents the strength of magnet.

r

 

Mathematically it is defined as the product of the strength of either pole and effective length. i.e. M = m(2l )

 

  • It is a vector quantity directed from south to
  • It’s I. unit amp×m2 or Nm/Tesla and dimensions [AL2]

Earth’s magnetic Field (Terrestrial Magnetism).

As per the most established theory it is due to the rotation of the earth where by the various charged ions present in the molten state in the core of the earth rotate and constitute a current.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • The magnetic field of earth is similar to one which would be obtained if a huge magnet is assumed to be buried deep inside the earth at it’s
  • The axis of rotation of earth is called geographic axis and the points where it cuts the surface of earth are called geographical poles (Ng, Sg). The circle on the earth’s surface perpendicular to the geographical axis is called
  • A vertical plane passing through the geographical axis is called geographical
  • The axis of the huge magnet assumed to be lying inside the earth is called magnetic axis of the earth. The points where the magnetic axis cuts the surface of earth are called magnetic poles. The circle on the earth’s surface perpendicular to the magnetic axis is called magnetic
  • Magnetic axis and Geographical axis don’t coincide but they makes an angle of 5° with each other.
  • Magnetic equator divides the earth into two The hemisphere containing south polarity of earth’s magnetism is called northern hemisphere while the other, the southern hemisphere.
  • The magnetic field of earth is not constant and changes irregularly from place to place on the surface of the earth and even at a given place in varies with time
  • Direction of earth’s magnetic field is from S (geographical south) to N (Geographical north).

 

 

Elements of Earth’s Magnetic Field.

The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field of the earth at a place are completely given by certain. quantities known as magnetic elements.

  • Magnetic Declination (q) : It is the angle between geographic and the magnetic meridian

 

 

Declination at a place is expressed at q o E

or q oW

depending upon whether the north pole of the compass

 

needle lies to the east or to the west of the geographical axis.

  • Angle of inclination or Dip (f) : It is the angle between the direction of intensity of total magnetic field of earth and a horizontal line in the magnetic
  • Horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field (BH) : Earth’s magnetic field is horizontal only at the magnetic equator. At any other place, the total intensity can be resolved into horizontal component (BH) and vertical component (BV).

 

Also BH=

B cos f

…… (i)             and

BV  = B sin f

……. (ii)

 

By squaring and adding equation (i) and (ii)    B =

 

 

Dividing equation (ii) by equation (i)

tan f = BV

BH

 

Note : @ At equator q = 0 Þ

BH   = B, BV

= 0 while at poles f

= 90 o Þ

BH  = 0,

BV   = B.

 

 

Magnetic Maps and Neutral Points.

  • Magnetic maps (e. Declination, dip and horizontal component) over the earth vary in magnitude from place to place. It is found that many places have the same value of magnetic elements. The lines are drawn joining all place on the earth having same value of a magnetic elements. These lines forms magnetic map.
    • Isogonic lines: These are the lines on the magnetic map joining the places of equal
    • Agonic line: The line which passes through places having zero declination is called agonic
    • Isoclinic lines : These are the lines joining the points of equal dip or
    • Aclinic line : The line joining places of zero dip is called aclinic line (or magnetic equator)
    • Isodynamic lines : The lines joining the points or places having the same value of horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field are called isodynamic
  • Neutral points : At the neutral point, magnetic field due to the bar magnet is just equal and opposite to the horizontal component of earth’s magnetic

 Tangent Law and it’s Application.

When a small magnet is suspended in two uniform magnetic fields B and

BH which are at right angles to each

 

other, the magnet comes to rest at an angle q with respect to  BH

such that

B = BH tanq . This is called tangent law.

 

 

 

Tangent galvanometer : It is an instrument which can detect/measure very small electric currents. It is also called as moving magnet galvanometer. It consists of three circular coils of insulated copper wire wound on a vertical circular frame made of nonmagnetic material as ebonite or wood. A small magnetic compass needle is pivoted at the centre of the vertical circular frame. This needle rotates freely in a horizontal plane inside a box made of nonmagnetic material. When the coil of the tangent galvanometer is kept in magnetic meridian and current passes through any of the coil then the needle at the centre gets deflected and comes to an equilibrium position under the action of two perpendicular field : one due to horizontal component of earth and the other due to field set up by the coil due to current (B).

 

In equilibrium

B = BH tanθ

where

B = mni ; n = number of turns, r = radius of coil, i = the current to be

Magnetic Instruments.

Magnetic instruments are used to find out the magnetic moment of a bar magnet, find out the horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field, compare the magnetic moments of two bar magnets.

(1) Deflection magnetometer

It’s working is based on the principle of tangent law. It consist of a small compass needle, pivoted at the centre of a circular box. The box is kept in a wooden frame having two meter scale fitted on it’s two arms. Reading of a scale at any point directly gives the distance of that point from the centre of compass needle.

Different position of deflection magnetometer : Deflection magnetometer can be used according to two following positions.

(2) Vibration magnetometer

Vibration magnetometer is used for comparison of magnetic moments and magnetic fields. This device works on the principle, that whenever a freely suspended magnet in a uniform magnetic field, is disturbed from it’s equilibrium position, it starts vibrating about the mean position.

earth’s magnetic field (BH ) is given by the formula. T = 2p

Example: 38 A dip needle vibrates in the vertical plane perpendicular to the magnetic meridian. The time period of vibration is found to be 2 seconds. The same needle is then allowed to vibrate in the horizontal plane and the time period is again found to be 2 seconds. Then the angle of dip is

Magnetic Materials.

  • Types of magnetic material : On the basis of mutual interactions or behaviour of various materials in an external magnetic field, the materials are divided in three main
    • Diamagnetic materials : Diamagnetism is the intrinsic property of every material and it is generated due to mutual interaction between the applied magnetic field and orbital motion of
    • Paramagnetic materials : In these substances the inner orbits of atoms are The electron spins are uncoupled, consequently on applying a magnetic field the magnetic moment generated due to spin motion align in the direction of magnetic field and induces magnetic moment in its direction due to which the material gets feebly magnetised. In these materials the electron number is odd.

When no field is applied

(b)

On application of field (B)

 

(iii) Ferromagnetic materials : In some materials, the permanent atomic magnetic moments have strong tendency to align themselves even without any external field.

These materials are called ferromagnetic materials.

In every unmagnetised ferromagnetic material, the atoms form domains inside the material. The atoms in any domain have magnetic moments in the same direction giving a net large magnetic moment to the domain. Different domains, however, have different directions of magnetic moment and hence the materials remain unmagnetised. On applying an external magnetic field, these domains rotate and align in the direction of magnetic field.

  • Hysteresis : For ferromagnetic materials, by removing external magnetic field e. H = 0. The magnetic moment of some domains remain aligned in the applied direction of previous magnetising field which results into a residual magnetism.

The lack of retracibility as shown in figure is called hysteresis and the curve is known as hysteresis loop.

  • When magnetising field (H) is increased from O, the intensity of magnetisation I increases and becomes This maximum value is called the saturation value.
  • When H is reduced, I reduces but is not zero when H = The remainder value OC of magnetisation when

H = 0 is called the residual magnetism or retentivity.

 

The property by virtue of which the magnetism (I) remains in a material even on the removal of magnetising field is called Retentivity or Residual magnetism.

  • When magnetic field H is reversed, the magnetisation decreases and for a particular value of H, denoted by Hc, it becomes zero e., Hc = OD when I = 0. This value of H is called the corecivity.
  • So, the process of demagnetising a material completely by applying magnetising field in a negative direction is defined Corecivity. Corecivity assesses the softness or hardness of a magnetic material. Corecivity signifies magnetic hardness or softness of substance :

Magnetic hard substance (steel) ® High corecvity Magnetic soft substance (soft iron) ® Low corecivity

  • When field H is further increased in reverse direction, the intensity of magnetisation attains saturation value in reverse direction (e. point E)

 

 

  • When H is decreased to zero and changed direction in steps, we get the part EFGB. Thus complete cycle of magnetisation and demagnetisation is represented by BCDEFGB.

Note : @             The energy loss (or hysteresis energy loss) in magnetising and demagnetising a specimen is proportional to the area of hysteresis loop.
