A bar magnet produces a field of \( 5 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{T} \) at \( 0.5 \, \text{m} \) on its equatorial line. Wha

**Magnetic field inside solenoid** with core B = μ₀ μ_r n I is uniform, direction along axis given by right-hand grip rule. For n = 2000 m⁻¹, μ_r = 400, B = 1.2 T, I = 1.2/(4π×10⁻⁷×400×2000) ≈ 1.19 A, showing modest current produces tesla-level field with high μ_r core. B = (μ₀/4π) (m/r³) , so m = (B r³/(μ₀/4π)) . Given: B = 5 × 10⁻⁶ T , r = 0.5 m , (μ₀/4π) = 10⁻⁷ . m = (5 × 10⁻⁶ × (0.5)³/10⁻⁷) = (5 × 10⁻⁶ × 0.125/10⁻⁷) = 6.25 A m² . Substituting values gives 6.25 A m², which matches expected

A bar magnet with \( m = 0.75 \, \text{A m}^2 \) produces a field at \( 0.15 \, \text{m} \) on its equatorial line. What

**Hysteresis loop** plots B versus H for ferromagnetic material, retentivity (remanence) is residual B at H=0 after saturation, coercivity is reverse H needed to reduce B to zero. Hard ferromagnets have high retentivity and coercivity, retaining strong magnetism after external field removed, suitable for permanent magnets. B = (μ₀/4π) (m/r³) . Given: m = 0.75 A m² , r = 0.15 m , (μ₀/4π) = 10⁻⁷ . B = 10⁻⁷ × (0.75/(0.15)³) = 10⁻⁷ × (0.75/0.003375) ≈ 2.222 × 10⁻⁵ T ≈ 2.22 × 10⁻⁵ T . Substituting values gives 2.22 × 10⁻⁵ T, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirmi

**Field due to bar magnet** on axial line is B_axial = (μ₀/4π)·2m/r³, equatorial B_eq = (μ₀/4π)·m/r³, where μ₀/4π = 10⁻⁷ T·m/A, m magnetic moment (A·m²), r distance (m). Axial field twice equatorial at same distance and parallel to moment, equatorial opposite to moment direction. B = (μ₀/4π) (m/r³) . Given: m = 1.2 A m² , r = 0.3 m , (μ₀/4π) = 10⁻⁷ . B = 10⁻⁷ × (1.2/(0.3)³) = 10⁻⁷ × (1.2/0.027) ≈ 4.44 × 10⁻⁶ T . Substituting values gives 4.44 × 10⁻⁶ T, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
