^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.

^Declination (θ)

Declination (θ)

Since the line joining the magnetic poles is titled with respect to the geographic axis of the earth, the magnetic meridian at a point makes angle with the geographic meridian. This angle between the true geographic north and the north shown by a compass needle at which the needle stays in equilibrium in magnetic meridian is called the mag. declination or simply declination.

The declination is greater at higher latitudes and smaller near the equator. The declination in India is small, it being 0º41′ E at Delhi and 0º58′ W at Mumbai. This means a compass needle would deflect towards east by 0 degrees & 41 minute at Delhi & towards west by 0 degrees & 58 minute at Mumbai. As both angles are almost 00, Thus, we can say, at both these places a magnetic needle shows the true north quite accurately.

^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.

^Vector addition law

^Vector addition law

The essential condition for the addition of the two vectors that they should of the same physical nature e.g. force can be added in to force, velocity can be added in to velocity only.

 

^Thermoelectric power

Thermoelectric power

The potential difference de across a piece of metal due to temperature difference dT is called the thermoelectric power or the Seebeck coefficient (S) of that material & is defined as, _ _ _ _ (1)

Its units is V/K. Values in the hundreds of μV/K, negative or positive, are typical of good thermoelectric materials.

 

^Cu voltameter

Cu voltameter

It consists of a glass vessel containing an aqueous solution of CuSO4 as electrolyte & two copper rods as electrodes. Copper sulphate in aqueous solution dissociated as .

Due to the applied p.d. the SO2-4 ions drift towards the anode & the Cu2+ ions drift towards the cathode.

The SO2-4 ions on reaching the anode react with Cu atoms of anode to form CuSO4. i.e.

Cu + SO2-4 → Cu2+ SO2-4 + 2 e

Also the oxidation reaction at the anode is

Cu → Cu2+ + 2e

These Cu2+ ions dissolve into the solution, while the electrons so released flow towards the positive terminal of the battery via the external circuit. The Cu2+ ions on reaching the cathode get neutralized by the electrons flowing in from the negative terminal of the battery i.e. reduction occurs at the anode, Cu2+ + 2e → Cu.

The net effect of electrolysis is that one copper atom is deposited at the cathode for each pair of electrons flowing through the connecting wires, thus copper is dissolved from the anode and deposited at the cathode in such a way that the concentration of CuSO4 in the solution remains constant & there is no accumulation of charge any where.
