Show that a):
1T =Vs/m^2
Sol.
L.H.S:
As 1T = Wb/m^2
Wb= Vs
So
1T = Vs/m^2
L.H.S = R.H.S
b): N/C= V/m
Sol.
L.H.S:
AS N = kgm/s^2 and C = A.s
Putting values
N/C = (kgm/s^2)/(A.s)
= kgms^-3A^-1
Multiplying and dividing ‘m’
We get
= kgm^2s^-3A^-1/m
N/C = V/m
L.H.S = R.H.S
Q.No.2:
Describe the effects produced in the dielectric material and
magnetic material when placed in an electric and magnetic
field respectively. Also write down the equations.
Dielectric materials are poor conductors of electricity because
they do not have any loosely bound or free electrons that may
drift through the material. Electrons are required to support
the flow of an electric current. The current flows from the
positive to the negative terminal and, in the opposite
direction, as free electrons that flow from the negative to the
positive terminal.
Dielectric materials support dielectric polarization, which
enables them to act as dielectrics rather than conductors. This
phenomenon occurs when a dielectric is placed in an electric
field and positive charges are displaced in the direction of the
electric field, while the negative charges are displaced in the
opposite direction. Such polarization creates a strong internal
field, which reduces the overall electric field within the
material.
When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, it gets
polarised. The electric field in a polarised material is less than
the applied field. When a paramagnetic substance is kept in a
magnetic field, the field in the substance is more than the
applied field.This opposite behaviour is due to the opposite
behaviour of magnetic dipole as compared to electric dipole.
When the paramagnetic substance is kept in magnetic field,
the direction of magnetic field at the centre of magnetic
dipole of substance is along the direction of magnetic
moment which is opposite to the case of dipole in electric
field. Also, when paramagnetic substance is kept in the
magnetic field then its magnetic dipole aligns in the direction
of field. Thus, magnetic field due to the magnetic dipole adds
up to the applied magnetic field.
Hence, an extra magnetic field produced in the direction of
applied field.
The explanation for dielectric in an external electric field

In general, dielectrics described as materials that are very

poor conductors of electric current.
When an electric field applied to a capacitor, the dielectric
material become polarized.
The happen due to charge by induction.
When the field polarized the negative charges in the material
orient themselves toward the positive electrode.
The positive charges shift towards the negative electrode.
The effect of external electric field reduces due to the
polarization of the dielectric material.
When polar dielectric placed in external electric field dipole
experience torque.
Q-No-03:
Ans.
For Magnetic field:
1 Magnetic field vector indicate a sense of rotation.
2 Both electric and magnetic fields have directions and
magnitude.
3 They change sign when time is inverted.
4 Magnetic field lines out from north pole and in south pole.

Q.No.4: Define magnetic dipole moment and show that.

Where ϕ = is the angle between the dipole moment and the
position vector r.

A magnetic moment is a quantity that represents the

magnetic strength and orientation of a magnet or any other
object that produces a magnetic field. More precisely, a
magnetic moment refers to a magnetic dipole moment, the
component of the magnetic moment that can be represented
by a magnetic dipole. A magnetic dipole is a magnetic north
pole and a magnetic south pole separated by a small distance.
Magnetic dipole moments have dimensions of current times
area or energy divided by magnetic flux density. The unit for
dipole moment in metre–kilogram– second–ampere is
ampere-square metre. The unit in centimetre–gram–second
unit system, is the erg (unit of energy) per gauss (unit of
magnetic flux density). One thousand ergs per gauss equal to
one ampere-square metre.
