^Mutual induction (M)

1. Property of a coil due to which it suppress the variations in current in it by inducing a back EMF in the neighbouring coil is called mutual induction. It is measured by a quantity called mutual inductance (M), which is defined as, .

2. SI unit of both self & mutual inductance is henry (H).

3. For two long coaxial solenoid wound on same core,

4. Reciprocity theorem: M12 = M21

^Vibration magnetometer

^Vibration magnetometer

A magnet free to vibrate about vertical axis passing through its CM is first kept in a non- magnetic hook along BH.

On deflecting it slightly by an amount θ, it experiences a restoring torque due to horizontal component of earth’s field BH

τ = M BH sinθ

≈M BH θ   [As sinθ ≈ θ, for small angle deflection.

Due to inertia of the magnet it start oscillating simple harmonically. We know from the theory angular SHM that linear frequency, angular frequency & time period of oscillations is,

Thus for this situation we have

Here, I = MI of the magnet

Uses:

For two dissimilar magnets using

Here Ts = time period for the sum position & Td = time period for the difference position.

^Dip circle

^Dip circle

Dip circle also called dip needle is a compass pivoted to move about a horizontal axis in a vertical plane containing the magnetic field of the earth i.e. it shows the angle which the magnetic field makes with the vertical. At the magnetic poles such a needle will point straight down.

A compass needle would stay along the magnetic meridian of the place. In some places on the earth there are deposits of magnetic minerals which cause the compass needle to deviate from the magnetic meridian. Knowing the magnetic declination at a place allows us to correct the compass to determine the direction of true north.

^Magnetic meridian

^Magnetic meridian

Magnetic meridian at a place is a vertical plane passing through the imaginary line joining the earth’s magnetic north and the south poles or the axis of a freely suspended magnet with its north pole towards geographic north.

^Geographic meridian

^Geographic meridian

Geographic meridian at a point P on earth’s surface is a vertical plane passing through the longitude circle & axis of rotation of the earth.

^Properties of a magnet

Properties of a magnet

1. The pole strength ‘m’ of a magnet depends upon the nature of material of a magnet, its state of demagnetization & area of cross section of the magnet but is independent of any bend in the magnet.

2. For a bar magnet

3. On cutting a magnet in two identical pieces longitudinally (along the length) the pole strength of each part is halved as a result the dipole moment of each part becomes half.

4. On cutting a magnet in two identical pieces transversally (normal to length) the dipole moment of each part becomes as length of each part is halved.

5. A flexible magnet of length L, pole strength m & dipole moment M is bent into a semi circle. The dipole moment of this semicircle will be .

6. Demagnetization can be due to heating, hammering, passing AC through an electromagnet, applying demagnetizing field (i.e. a magnetic field in the reverse direction), aging.

^Biot–savart’s law

Biot–savart’s law

The magnitude of the magnetic field produced depends upon

  1. strength of current flowing in the conductor
  2. shape, size of conductor &
  3. position of observation point where the field is to be calculated.

Direction of magnetic field due to both straight as well as curved conductor can be calculated by right hand stretched thumb rule. For straight conductor thumb point current & curl of fingers point magnetic lines while in a curved conductor reverse of it. On reversing the direction of current the direction of magnetic field produced is reversed.

*Describing a vector

A vector can be expressed as infinite no. of components in 2D or 3 D, however generally a vector is expressed as the resolution of three mutually perpendicular components

a, b & c along x, y & z axis respectively.

Here (a, b, c) are also called direction ratios of  .

Length of a vector is called its magnitude .. Magnitude of is described as, 

Let makes angle θx, θy & θz with the x, y & z axis respectively. cos of these angels are called direction ratios of  & usually expressed in terms of symbols (l, m, n) & are related to direction ratios as

Magnitude of a unit vector is unity i.e.
