CBSE Class 12 Physics Revision Notes Chapter 5 Magnetism and Matter

Properties of magnets:-

• Attractive property
• Directive property:- Magnetic materials tend to point in the north-south direction.
• Like magnetic poles repel and unlike ones attract.
• Magnetic poles cannot be isolated i.e. always exists in pairs.
• Magnetic induction:- A magnet induces magnetism in a magnetic substance placed near it. This phenomenon is called magnetic induction.
• Magnetic field lines:- It is defined as the curve the tangent to which at any point gives the direction of the magnetic field at that point.
• Magnetic dipole:- An arrangement of two equal and opposite magnetic poles separated by a small distance is called a magnetic dipole.
• Magnetic dipole moment:- It is defined as the product of its pole strength and magnetic length. 
• 
  a) The force on it is zero.
  b) The torque on it is 
  c) Torque on dipole will be minimum when  = 0^o
  d) Torque on dipole will be maximum when  = 90^o.
  When a bar magnet of dipole moment  is placed in a uniform magnetic field , then-
  e) Its potential energy is 
  where we choose the zero of energy at the orientation when  is perpendicular to .
• Consider a bar magnet of size  and magnetic moment , at a distance r from its mid – point, where r >>l, the magnetic field  due to this bar is-
• On the axial point of the dipole (end-on position):-
  
  
• On the equatorial point of the dipole (broadside-on position):-
  
  
• Current loop as a magnetic dipole:- , where I = current flowing in the loop and A = area of the loop
• Gauss’s Law for Magnetism: It states that the net magnet flux through any closed surface is zero. 
• Analogy between electric and magnetic dipoles:-

• Poles:

a) The pole near the geographic north pole of the earth is called the magnetic south pole.
b) The pole near the geographic south – pole is called the magnetic north pole.
c) The magnitude of the magnetic field on the earth’s surface = 4 x 10^-5 T.

• Elements of the Earth’s Magnetic Field: Three quantities are needed to specify the magnetic field of the earth on its surface-

a) The horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field (B_H)- It is the component of the earth’s total magnetic field  in the horizontal direction in the magnetic meridian.
b) The magnetic declination ()- The angle between the geographic meridian and the magnetic meridian at a place is called the magnetic declination at that place.
c) The angle of dip or magnetic inclination ()- The angle made by the earth’s total magnetic field  with the horizontal direction in the magnetic meridian is called angle of dip at any place.

These are known as the elements of the earth’s magnetic field.

• 
• 
• 
• Neutral point:- It is the point where the magnetic field due to a magnet is equal and opposite to the horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field. The resultant magnetic field at the neutral point is zero.
  
  
• Magnetic Intensity or Magnetising field intensity:- The ability of magnetising field to magnetise a material medium. Let a material placed in an external magnetic field  , The magnetic intensity is, 
• Magnetic induction:- It is defined as the total number of magnetic lines of force crossing per unit area normally through a material.
• Intensity of magnetization :- It is defined as the dipole moment per unit volume , then the magnetic field  in the material will be-
• Magnetic permeability () :- It is defined as the ratio of its magnetic induction B to the magnetic intensity H. 
• Relative permeability () :- It is defined as the ratio of the permeability of the medium to the permeability of free space.
• Magnetic susceptibility () :- It is defined as the ratio of the intensity of magnetisation M to the magnetising field intensity H. 
• ​​​Relationship between :-  , 
• Classification of Magnetic Materials: Magnetic materials are broadly classified as-

a) Diamagnetic- Those substances which develope feeble magnetisation in the opposite direction of the magnetising field. Examples- Bismuth, Copper, Lead, Zinc etc.
b) Paramagnetic- Those substances which develope feeble magnetisation in the direction of the magnetising field. Examples- Aluminium, Chromium, Platinum etc.
c) Ferromagnetic- Those substances which develope strong magnetisation in the direction of the magnetising field. Examples- Iron, Nickle, Cobalt etc.

• Magnetic Susceptibility of the Material for Magnetic Materials:

a) For diamagnetic materials  is negative and small.
b) For paramagnetic materials  is positive and small.
c) For ferromagnetic materials  lies between  and

2.	In external magnetic field	Acquire feeble magnetisation in the opposite direction of the magnetising field.	Acquire feeble magnetisation in the direction of the magnetising field.	Acquire Strong magnetisation in the direction of the magnetising field.
3.	In a non-uniform magnetic field	Tend to move slowly from stronger to weaker parts of the field.	Tend to move slowly from weaker to stronger parts of the field	Tend to move quickly from weaker to stronger parts of the field

8.	Effect of temperature	Susceptibility is independent of temperature.	Susceptibility varies inversely as temperature:	Susceptibility decreases with temperature in a complex manner.
9.	Removal of magnetizing field	Magnetisation lasts as long as the magnetizing field is applied.	As soon as the magnetizing field is removed magnetisation is lost.	Magnetisation is retained even after the magnetizing field removed.
10.	Variation of M with H	M changes linearly with H.	M changes linearly with H and attains saturation at low temperature and in very strong fields.	M changes with H non-linearly and ultimately attains saturation.

• Hysteresis- The phenomenon of the lagging of magnetic induction behind the magnetising field is called hysteresis.
  
• The magnetic induction left behind in the sample after the magnetising field has been removed is called residual magnetism or retentivity or remanence.
• The value of reverse magnetising field intensity H required for the residual magnetism of a sample to become zero is called coercivity of the sample.
• Permanent Magnets: Substances which retain their ferromagnetic property for a long period of time at room temperature are called permanent magnets. These magnets have High retentivity, High coercivity, High permeability.
• Electromagnets: High permeability, Low retentivity.
