5.16 Verify the Gauss’s law for magnetic field of a point dipole of dipole moment $\mathbf{m}$ at the origin for the surface which is a sphere of radius $R$.

5.17 Three identical bar magnets are rivetted together at centre in the same plane as shown in Fig. 5.1. This system is placed at rest in a slowly varying magnetic field. It is found that the system of magnets does not show any motion. The north-south poles of one magnet is shown in the Fig. 5.1. Determine the poles of the remaining two. Fig. 5.1

5.18 Suppose we want to verify the analogy between electrostatic and magnetostatic by an explicit experiment. Consider the motion of (i) electric dipole $\mathbf{p}$ in an electrostatic field $\mathbf{E}$ and (ii) magnetic dipole $\mathbf{m}$ in a magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$. Write down a set of conditions on $\mathbf{E}, \mathbf{B}, \mathbf{p}$, $\mathbf{m}$ so that the two motions are verified to be identical. (Assume identical initial conditions.)

5.19 A bar magnet of magnetic moment $m$ and moment of inertia $I$ (about centre, perpendicular to length) is cut into two equal pieces, perpendicular to length. Let $T$ be the period of oscillations of the original magnet about an axis through the mid point, perpendicular to length, in a magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$. What would be the similar period $T^{\prime}$ for each piece?

5.20 Use (i) the Ampere’s law for $\mathbf{H}$ and (ii) continuity of lines of $\mathbf{B}$, to conclude that inside a bar magnet, (a) lines of $\mathbf{H}$ run from the $N$ pole to $S$ pole, while (b) lines of $\mathbf{B}$ must run from the $S$ pole to $N$ pole.

5.21 Verify the Ampere’s law for magnetic field of a point dipole of dipole moment $\mathbf{m}=m \hat{\mathbf{k}}$. Take $C$ as the closed curve running clockwise along (i) the $z$-axis from $z=a>0$ to $z=R$; (ii) along the quarter circle of radius $R$ and centre at the origin, in the first quadrant of $x-z$ plane; (iii) along the $x$-axis from $x=R$ to $x=a$, and (iv) along the quarter circle of radius $a$ and centre at the origin in the first quadrant of $x-z$ plane.

5.22 What are the dimensions of $\chi$, the magnetic susceptibility? Consider an $H$-atom. Guess an expression for $\chi$, upto a constant by constructing a quantity of dimensions of $\chi$, out of parameters of the atom: $e, m, v, R$ and $\mu_0$. Here, $m$ is the electronic mass, $v$ is electronic velocity, $R$ is Bohr radius. Estimate the number so obtained and compare with the value of $|\chi| \sim 10^{-5}$ for many solid materials.

5.23 Assume the dipole model for earth’s magnetic field $B$ which is given by $B_V=$ vertical component of magnetic field $=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{2 m \cos \theta}{r^{3}}$ $B_H=$ Horizontal component of magnetic field $=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{\sin \theta m}{r^{3}}$ $\theta=90^{\circ}-$ lattitude as measured from magnetic equator. Find loci of points for which (i) $|\mathbf{B}|$ is minimum; (ii) dip angle is zero; and (iii) dip angle is $\pm 45^{\circ}$.

5.24 Consider the plane $S$ formed by the dipole axis and the axis of earth. Let $P$ be point on the magnetic equator and in $S$. Let $Q$ be the point of intersection of the geographical and magnetic equators. Obtain the declination and dip angles at $P$ and $Q$.

5.25 There are two current carrying planar coils made each from identical wires of length $L . C_1$ is circular (radius $R$ ) and $C_2$ is square (side $a$ ). They are so constructed that they have same frequency of oscillation when they are placed in the same uniform $\mathbf{B}$ and carry the same current. Find $a$ in terms of $R$.

5.11 $ \mu_p \approx \frac{e \hbar}{2 m_p}$ and $\mu_e \approx \frac{e \hbar}{2 m_e}, \hbar=\frac{h}{2 \pi}$

$\mu_e \gg \mu_p$ because $m_p \gg m_e$.

5.12 $ B l=\mu_0 M l=\mu_0(I+I_M)$ and $H=0=I$

$M l=I_M=10^{6} \times 0.1=10^{5} A$.

5.13 $ x \alpha$ density $\rho$. Now $\frac{\rho_N}{\rho _{Cu}}=\frac{28 g / 22.4 Lt}{8 g / cc}=\frac{3.5}{22.4} \times 10^{-3}=1.6 \times 10^{-4}$.

$\frac{x_N}{x _{Cu}}=5 \times 10^{-4}$ (from given data).

Hence major difference is accounted for by density.

5.14 Diamagnetism is due to orbital motion of electrons developing magnetic moments opposite to applied field and hence is not much affected by temperature.

Paramagnetism and ferromagnetism is due to alignments of atomic magnetic moments in the direction of the applied field. As temperature increases, this aligment is disturbed and hence susceptibilities of both decrease as temperature increases.

5.15 (i) Away from the magnet. (ii) Magnetic moment is from left to right

5.16

$\mathbf{B}=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{3 \mathbf{m} \cdot \hat{\mathbf{r}}}{r^{3}}, m=m \hat{\mathbf{k}}$

$d \mathbf{s}=\hat{\mathbf{r}} \cdot \mathbf{r}^{2} \sin \theta d \theta c$

$0 \leq \theta \leq \pi, 0 \leq \phi \leq$

$\oint \mathbf{B} . d \mathbf{s}=\frac{\mu_0 m}{4 \pi} \int \frac{3 \cos \theta}{r^{3}} r^{2} \sin \theta d \theta$

$=0[$ due to $\theta$ integral $]$.

5.17 Net $m=0$. Only possibility is shown in Fig.

5.18 $E(r)=c B(r), p=\frac{m}{c}$. Mass and moment of inertia of dipoles are equal.

5.19 $ T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{m B}} \quad I^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} I$ and $m^{\prime}=\frac{m}{2} . \quad T^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2} T$

5.20 Consider a line of $\mathbf{B}$ through the bar magnet. It must be closed. Let $\mathbf{C}$ be the amperian loop.

$\int _{\Theta}^{P} \mathbf{H} \cdot d \mathbf{l}=\int _{\Omega}^{P} \frac{\mathbf{B}}{\mu_0} \cdot d \boldsymbol{{}l}>0$

$\oint _{P G P} \mathbf{H} . d \mathbf{l}=0$

$\int_D^{Q} \mathbf{H} . d \mathbf{l}<0$

$P \to Q$ is inside the bar.

Hence $\mathbf{H}$ is making an obtuse angle with $d \boldsymbol{{}l}$.

5.21 (i) Along $Z$ axis

$\mathbf{B}=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{2 \mathbf{m}}{r^{3}}$

$\int_a^{R} \mathbf{B} . d \mathbf{l}=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} 2 m \int_a^{R} \frac{d z}{z^{3}}=\frac{\mu_0 m}{2 \pi}(-\frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{R^{2}}-\frac{1}{a^{2}})$

(ii) Along the quarter circle of radius $R$

$B_0=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{-\mathbf{m} \cdot \hat{\boldsymbol{{}\theta}}}{R^{3}}=\frac{-\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{m}{R^{3}}(-\sin \theta)$ B. $d \boldsymbol{{}l}=\frac{\mu_0 m}{4 \pi R^{2}} \sin \theta d$

$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \overrightarrow{{}B} \cdot \overrightarrow{{}d l}=\frac{\mu_0 m}{4 \pi R^{2}}$

(iii) Along $x$-axis

$\mathbf{B}=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi}(\frac{-m}{x^{3}})$

$\int \mathbf{B} . d \mathbf{1}=0$

(iv) Along the quarter circle of radius $a$ B. $d \mathbf{1}=\frac{-\mu_0 m}{4 \pi a^{2}} \sin \theta d \theta, \int \mathbf{B} . d \mathbf{l}=-\frac{-\mu_0 m}{4 \pi a^{2}} \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin \theta d \theta=\frac{-\mu_0 m}{4 \pi a^{2}}$

Add $\oint_C \mathbf{B} . d \mathbf{1}=0$

5.22 $\chi$ is dimensionless.

$\chi$ depends on magnetic moment induced when $H$ is turned on. $H$ couples to atomic electrons through its charge $e$. The effect on $m$ is via current $I$ which involves another factor of ’ $e$ ‘. The combination " $\mu_0 e^{2}$ " does not depend on the “charge” $Q$ dimension.

$\chi=\mu_0 e^{2} m^{\alpha} v^{\beta} R^{\gamma}$

$\mu_0 c^{2}=\frac{1}{c^{2}} \frac{e^{2}}{\varepsilon_0} \sim \frac{1}{c^{2}} \frac{e^{2}}{\varepsilon_0 R} \cdot R \sim \frac{\text{ Energy length }}{c^{2}}$ $[\chi]=M^{0} L^{0} T^{0} Q^{0}=\frac{ML^{3} T^{-2}}{L^{2} T^{-2}} M^{\alpha}(\frac{L}{T})^{\beta} L^{\gamma} Q^{0}$

$\alpha=-1, \beta=0, \gamma=-1$

$\chi=\frac{\mu_0 e^{2}}{m R} \sim \frac{10^{-6} \times 10^{-38}}{10^{-30} \times 10^{-10}} \sim 10^{-4}$.

5.23

(i) $|\mathbf{B}|=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{m}{R^{3}}(4 \cos ^{2} \theta+\sin ^{2} \theta)^{1 / 2}$

$\frac{|\mathbf{B}|^{2}}{(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi R^{3}})^{2} m^{2}}=3 \cos ^{2} \theta+1$, minimum at $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$.

$|\mathbf{B}|$ is minimum at magnetic equator.

(ii) $\tan$ (dip angle) $=\frac{B_V}{B_H}=2 \cot$

at $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$ dip angle vanishes. Magnetic equator is again the locus.

(iii) Dip angle is $\pm 45^{\circ}$ when $|\frac{B_V}{B_H}|=1$

$2 \cot \theta=1$

$\theta=\tan ^{-1} 2$ is the locus.

5.24 Refer to the adjacent Fig.

$P$ is in $S$ (needle will point both north)

Declination $=0$

$P$ is also on magnetic equator.

$\therefore dip=0$ 2. $Q$ is on magnetic equator.

$\therefore dip=0$

but declination $=11.3^{\circ}$.

5.25 $ \quad n_1=\frac{L}{2 \pi R}$

$n_2=\frac{L}{4 a}$

$m_1=n_1 IA$

$m_2=n_2 I A_2$

$ =\frac{L}{2 \pi R} I \pi R \quad=\frac{L}{4 a} I a^{2}=\frac{L}{4} I c $

$I_1=\frac{M R^{2}}{2}$ (moment of inertia about an axis through the diameter)

$I_2=\frac{M a^{2}}{12}$

$\omega_1^{2}=\frac{m_1 B}{I_1} \quad \omega_2^{2}=\frac{m_2 B}{I_2}$

$\frac{m_1}{I_1}=\frac{m_2}{I_2}$

$ \frac{L R}{2 \pi} \times \frac{I}{\frac{M R^{2}}{2}}=\frac{\frac{L}{4} I a}{\frac{M a^{2}}{12}} \Rightarrow a=\frac{3 \pi}{4} R $
