(c) having very high value. (d) vary from place to place on the earths surface.
(а) Convective currents in earth’s core (б) Diversive current in earth’s core.
3.Which of the following independent quantities is not used to specify the earth’s magnetic field?
(c) Horizontal component of earth’s field (BH).(d) Vertical component of earth’s field (BV).
4.The angle of dip at a certain place where the horizontal and vertical components of the earth’s
magnetic field are equal is
(a) atomic current and intrinsic spin of electrons. (b) polar and non polar nature of molecules.
7.Two particles A and B having equal charges after being accelerated through the same potential
difference enter a region of uniform magnetic field and describe circular path of radii R1 and R2
respectively. The ratio of the masses of A to B is:
Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While
answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
Reason : If the wires are not twisted together, the combination of the wires forms a current loop, the
magnetic field generated by the loop might affect adjacent circuits or components.
Reason: The small resistance increases the combined resistance of the combination.
13.Assertion : The true geographic north direction is found by using a compass needle.
Reason : The magnetic meridian of the earth is along the axis of rotation of the earth.
14.Assertion : A disc-shaped magnet is deviated above a superconducting material that has been
Elements of the Earth’s Magnetic Field. The earth’s magnetic field at a point on its surface is usually
characterized by three quantities: (a) declination (b) inclination or dip and (c) horizontal component of
the field. These are known as the elements of the earth’s magnetic field. At a place, angle between
geographic meridian and magnetic meridian is defined as magnetic declination, whereas angle made by
the earth’s magnetic field with the horizontal in magnetic meridian is known as magnetic dip.
(i) In a certain place, the horizontal component of magnetic field is 1/ 3 times the vertical
(ii) The angle between the true geographic north and the north shown by a compass needle is
called as
(a) inclination (b) magnetic declination (c) angle of meridian (d) magnetic pole
(iii) The angle of dip at the poles and the equator respectively are
(a) 30º, 60º (b) 0º, 90º (c) 45º, 90º (d) 90º, 0º
(iv) A compass needle which is allowed to move in a horizontal plane is taken to a geomagnetic pole.
(a) It will become rigid showing no movement. (b) It will stay in any position.
(c) It will stay in north-south direction only. (d) It will stay in east-west direction only.
(b) Magnetic dip decreases as we move away from the equator towards the magnetic pole.
(c) Magnetic dip increases as we move away from the equator towards the magnetic pole.
17.A circular coil of wire consisting of 100 turns, each of radius 8.0 cm carries a current of 0.40A. What
is the magnitude of the magnetic field B at the centre of the coil? [2]
18.A long straight wire in the horizontal plane carries a current of 50 A in north to south direction.
Give the magnitude and direction of B at a point 2.5 m east of the wire. [2]
20. Two long and parallel straight wires A and B carrying currents of 8.0 A and 5.0 A in the same
direction are separated by a distance of 4.0 cm. Estimate the force on a 10 cm section of wire A.[2]
21.What do you mean by hysteresis loop. Explain remenance and coercivity. [3]
22.Explain Biot- savart law. Find an expression for magnetic field of a current carrying loop of
radius R at a point at on the axis at a distance 'x'. [5]
23.Explain the types of material according to their magnetic property. Mention the effects
of Curie's law on their properties. [4]
