key

Explanations

1.

B

The magnetic susceptibility is negative for diamagnetic materials <Lead is example>

2.

C

For diamagnetic materials the relative magnetic permeability lies b/w 0 and 1 e.g. water.

3.

B

Aluminum permeability is less than that of free space.

4.

A

Diamagnetic materials create an induced magnetic field in a direction opposite to an externally applied magnetic field. Hence repelled by both the poles.

5.

D

Copper is diamagnetic material and repels magnetic field slightly.

6.

C

Diamagnetic materials exhibit magnetism but the reason is incorrect ∵ the diamagnetic materials generate weak repulsion in an external magnetic field due to induced magnetic fields, not necessarily because of permanent magnetic dipole moments.

7.

A

Copper [ferromagnetic]

A

W = Uf - Uin

Uin = -MB Cos 0° = -MB

Uf = -MB Cos 180° = MB

⇒ w = -2MB

W = -2 × 3 × 0.2 = -1.2 Joulse

18.

C

Q = 0°

U = -MB [min potential energy]

19.

B

In a dipole, net magnetic charge is zero

⇒ No net flux across any closed surface

20.

B

Magnetic field lines are closed loops

⇒As many lines enter the Gaussian surface as they leave.

⇒ Net flux is zero and net enclosed magnetic charge is zero

⇒ magnetic charge always occur in dipoles.

21.

B

Where qm is the magnetic charge (monopole) enclosed by the surface.

22.

B

23.

C

High resistivity and high coerceivity  ie ability to retain magnetic field ^ resistance to demagnetization.

C

Xm is independent of temperature. So -0.05 [Diamagnetic materials]

D

Bo = Vo, B = , B = √2 BO

27.

B

Diamagnetic [Theory based]

28.

A

Susceptibility will decrease by factor of

So %age change in magnetic susceptibility is  (0.833-1) × 100% = -16.7%

So the magnetic susceptibility decreases by 16.7%

29.

D

Conceptual / Theoretical

C

The material with maximum susceptibility is easy to magnetised. 

Hence A is the material which is easiest to magnetise.

B

High magnetic permeability to easy magnetic flux flone.

Low hysteresis losses to minimize energy work.

36.
