Sample Questions
Which of the following statements about magnetic lines of force are correct?
Show answer
They form closed loops, They never intersect each other, They originate from north pole and end at south pole, Their density indicates field strength
Magnetic lines of force form closed loops, never intersect, originate from N-pole and end at S-pole, and their density indicates field strength. They cannot exist in isolation as magnetic monopoles don't exist.
The angle of dip at the magnetic equator is:
Show answer
0°
At the magnetic equator, the Earth's magnetic field is horizontal, so the angle of dip (inclination with horizontal) is 0°. The vertical component is zero at the magnetic equator.
According to Gauss' law for magnetism, the net magnetic flux through any closed surface is:
Show answer
Zero
Gauss' law for magnetism states that ∮B⃗·dS⃗ = 0. This is because magnetic monopoles do not exist, so magnetic field lines always form closed loops. The number of lines entering any closed surface equals the number leaving.
For a bar magnet, the ratio of axial field to equatorial field at the same distance is:
Show answer
2:1
For a bar magnet at distance r: Bₐₓᵢₛ = (μ₀/4π) × (2m/r³) and Bₑq = (μ₀/4π) × (m/r³). Therefore, Bₐₓᵢₛ : Bₑq = 2m : m = 2:1
