Class 12 Physics Chapter 5 Magnetism and Matter – Important Concepts

Magnetic field lines are the imaginary lines along which the North Magnetic move.

The larger the number of magnetic field lines per unit area, the stronger the magnetic field will be.

When a magnet placed in a uniform magnetic field B experiences a dipole moment m, then it experiences a force, torque, and potential energy.

Force = zero
Torque = m*B
Potential energy = m*B.

Magnetic Materials are classified as Diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic. χ refers to the magnetic sensitivity of the material.

Diamagnetic materials – negative and small χ
Paramagnetic materials – positive and small χ
Ferromagnetic materials – large χ.

The magnetic field of a solenoid with a radius, carrying I current at distance r on the axis is given by:

\(B = {\mu_0 \over 4\pi} {2m \over r^3}\)

In the above formula, m refers to the magnetic moment of the solenoid that is given by –

\(m = n(2l)(\pi a^2)\)
