8 questions from the practice bank, spread across the chapter's topics. The full set is in the app.
The tangent law, tanθ = B/H, is used with:
Answer: C. a deflection magnetometer, to compare magnetic fields
Why: A magnetic needle in two perpendicular fields settles at an angle θ.
Ferromagnetic materials lose their magnetism above a certain temperature called the:
Answer: B. Curie temperature
Why: Above the Curie temperature, thermal agitation disrupts the alignment of magnetic domains, and a ferromagnetic material behaves as merely paramagnetic.
If the magnetic field in which a magnet oscillates is made four times stronger, its time period becomes:
Answer: B. half
Why: T = 2π√(I/MB) ∝ 1/√B.
According to Curie's law, if the absolute temperature of a paramagnetic sample is doubled, its susceptibility becomes:
Answer: A. half
Why: χ = C/T.
The SI unit of magnetic dipole moment is:
Answer: D. A m²
Why: M = NIA.
A material suitable for making a permanent magnet should have:
Answer: A. high retentivity and high coercivity
Why: The magnet must stay magnetised (high retentivity) and resist being demagnetised (high coercivity), as steel does.
The magnetic dipole moment of a bar magnet is a vector directed from:
Answer: B. south pole to north pole
Why: The magnetic dipole moment vector of a bar magnet points from the south pole to the north pole, inside the magnet.
According to Curie's law, the magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic substance is:
Answer: B. inversely proportional to absolute temperature
Why: Curie's law states χ = C/T, so paramagnetic susceptibility decreases as temperature increases.
