Origin of Magnetism 1) We know that, whe then the magnetic The circulating electro’ moment. . When electron revolves in the circular orbit, it has two types of motion due to which two types of magnetic moments are produced. ; 3) Orbital magnetic moment is pros ‘ electron and spin magnetic moment is pro motion of electron. ; 4) The resultant magnetic moment of the electron is the vector sum of the orbital and spin magnetic moment. This is the origin of magnetism. n the current passes through the conductor field is produced in the surrounding region. n charges produce the magnetic dipole 2 duced due to orbital motion of duced due to spin of Types of substances on the basis of magnetic properties - On the basis of magnetic properties, substances are classified into three categories as- 1) Diamagnetic substances 2) Paramagnetic substances and 3) Ferromagnetic substances Diamagnetic Substances 1) The substances which are weakly repelled by the magnet are called as diamagnetic substances. The property possessed by diamagnetic substance is known as diamagnetism. 2) Ex. Bismuth, copper, gold, air, zinc, mercury, silver, water, antimony lead, silicon, glass, wood, plastics etc. In diamagnetic substance, the resultant magnetic moment of the atom is zero, because magnetic dipole moments of all the electrons in atom cancel each other. 4) When the diamagnetic substance is placed in external magnetic field, the electrons with orbital magnetic moments in the same direction as that of external field slow down while the electrons with orbital magnetic moments in the opposite direction to that of external field speed up. This develops magnetic moment in the direction opposite to that of external magnetic field and hence the substance is repelled in external magnetic field. 5) The metals, cooled to very low temperature are superconductors and show perfect diamagnetism. This phenomenon is known as Meissner effect. Properties of Diamagnetic Substances 1) If a thin rod of diamagnetic material is suspended freely in uniform magnetic field then it comes to rest perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. 2) If a thin rod of diamagnetic material is suspended freely in 3 non-uniform magnetic field then it moves towards the weaker Q. What are paramagnetic subsiances? Enlist the properties of paramagnetic substances. Q. Explain origin of para- mangnetism on the basis of its atomic structure. Q. What are ferromagnetic substances. Give their exam- ples. Write the properties of ferromagnetic substances. tiie U shaped tub i i i cen i shaped tube 3) If the liquid diamagnetic substance 1S taken in ape and magnetic field is applied to one arm then the liquid level decreases in that arm. —— 7 4) Resultant magnetic dipole moment of each atom of diamagnetic substance is zero. se oli 7 5) The permeability (Lt) of diamagnetic substance 1S slightly less than 1. (U<1 : ay 6) The susceptibility (x) of diamagnetic substance is small and negative. Paramagnetic Substances d by the magnet are 1) The substances which are weakly attracte : ays called as paramagnetic substances. The property possessed by the paramagnetic substances is called as paramagnetism. oxygen, platinum, 2) Ex. Aluminium, chromium, magnanese, titanium, sodium, magnesium, lithium, molybdenum ete. 3) In paramagnetic substance, the resultant magnetic moment of atom is not zero, because magnetic dipole moments of sil the electrons in atom do not cancel each other. It has permanent magnetic dipole moment. Each atom of paramagnetic subslance gnets. is equivalent to tiny magnetic dipole called atomic ma ; 4) When a paramagnetic substance is placed in external magnetic field the tiny atomic magnets tend to align parallel to the applied field and show temporary magnetization. When the external field is removed, atomic magnets get randomly oriented and it loses its magnetization. Therefore it cannot be used to make permanent magnets, Properties of paramagnetic Substances 1) If a thin rod of paramagnetic material is suspended freely in uniform magnetic field then it comes to rest parallel to the direction of magnetic field. When a thin rod of paramagnetic material is suspended freely in non uniform magnetic field, then it moves towards the stronger part. 3) If the liquid of paramagnetic substance is taken in U shaped tube and magnetic field is applied to one arm then the liquid level increases in that arm. 4) It possesses Permanent magnetic dipole moment. 5) The permeability (4) of paramagnetic substance is slightly greater than 1. (u =i 6) The Susceptibility (y positive. 2 Jor paramagnetic substance is small and Ferromagnetic Substances 1) The substances which are strongly attracted by the magnet are called as ferromagnetic substances. The property possessed by the ferromagnetic substances is called as ferromagnetism. 2) Ex. Iron, nickel, cobalt, gadolinium, dysprosium and their alloys etc. When a ferromagnetic substance is placed in external field, its magnets get aligned. They retain some magnetism even after removal of external field. Therefore they can be used to make permanent magnets. Properties of Ferromagnetic Substances 1) If a thin rod of ferromagnetic material is placed in uniform magnetic field then it is strongly magnetized in the direction of magnetic field. 2) When a thin rod of ferromagnetic material is placed in non-uni- form magnetic field then it moves from weaker part to the stronger part of the field. 3) Q. Explain the effect of temperature on ferromagnetism. Q. Explain the effect of temperature on ferromagnetism. Q. Explain hysteresis cycle of ferromagnetic materials. Where, . M is magnetization of paramagnetic material B is external magnetic field, T is absolute temperature and C is Curie constant. | We have B= ttoH Ma cla = c# HE £ | Curie Temperature (Effect of Temperature) 1) The temperature above which domain structure of ferromag- netic material is destroyed and ferromagnetic substance loses its magnetism is called as Curie temperature (T) 2) If the temperature of ferromagnetic material is increased then due to thermal vibrations, the coupling between neighbouring moments breaks at certain temperature. 3) At this temperature, almost all the atomic magnets are oriented in all possible direction and due to this, domain structure gets destroyed. This temperature is known as Curie temperature. 4) Above Curie temperature, the ferromagnetic material is converted into paramagnetic substance. 5) The relation between the magnetic susceptibility of a material when it has acquired paramagnetic property and the tempera- ture T is given by - G 7 for T > Te x= T Where C is a constant \<— ferromagnetic paramagnetic Te ™T-~ Hysteresis cycle : . 1) Consider an unmagnetized rod of ferromagnetic material placed inside a solenoid. It is represented by point 'O' in the following graph. B fhox density» ‘ saturation retentivity coercivity # magnetizing force saturationin in opposite direction “flux density in opposte direction Q. Write a note on electromagnet. Q. Write a note on perma- nent magnet. Q, What is magnetic shielding? / _ _ 2) When current is passed through the solenoid, magnetic field is generated and the rod gets magnetized. As the strength of external magnetic intensity H is increased by increasing current, B also increases nonlinearly and point ‘a’ is reached. This is the saturation magnetization point at which magnetic field is maximum. Domains are completely aligned. If H is further increased, there is no increase in B. Now, if H is reduced to zero by reducing current zero, B does not become zero. Thus earlier path is not retraced and point 'b' is reached. This value of B when H=0 is called retentivity or remanence, Some domains are still aligned. 5) Next, when H is increased in reverse direction by increasing current in the reverse direction, point 'c’ is reached, where B=0 at a certain value of H. This value of H is called coercivity. Domains are randomly oriented. . If His further increased in reverse direction, point ‘a’ is reached. This is again the saturation magnetization point at which magnetic field is maximum. If H is further increased, there is no increase in B. 7) Now, if His again reduced to zero by reducing current zero, B does not become zero. Thus earlier path is not retraced and point 'e' ig reached. Domains are again aligned but the direction of magnetization is reversed. . 8) When H is further increased, point | and then point 'a' is reached. Thus one loap is completed. This loop is called hyster- esis loop and the process of taking magnetic material through the loop is called hysteresis cycle. 3 4 6 Electromagnet |, 1) Electromagnet is prepared by placing a soft ferromagnetic rod in a solenoid core. 2) When current is passed through the solenoid, the magnetic field associated with the solenoid increases and the rod gets magnetized. 3) As the soft ferromagnetic material has a very little property to retain magnetization, when the current is switched off, the rod becomes unmagnetized. 4) Electromagnets are used in electric bells, loud speakers, circuit breakers, in cranes etc. Permanent magnet 1) Permanent magnet is prepared by placing a hard ferromagnetic rod in a solenoid core. 2) When current is passed through the solenoid, the magnetic field associated with the solenoid increases and the rod gets magnetized. 3) As the hard ferromagnetic material has a property to retain magnetization, when the current is switched off, the rod remains magnetized. Magnetic shielding 1) Ifa soft ferromagnetic material is placed in a uniform magnetic field, most of the magnetic lines pass through the material. 2) If the instrument which is to be protected from magnetic field is surrounded by a closed structure like a spherical shell of ferro- magnetic material, very few magnetic lines pass through the enclosed space and the instrument is protected. This effect is known as magnetic shielding. 3) Some scientific experiments require the experiment to be protected from magnetic field in the laboratory. 4) This technique is also used in space ships. tl Important Formulae Formula Magnetic dipole moment Explanation M=IA Where For ‘n’ turns M = magnetic dipole moment (Am) Me=nlA T= current in loop (A) Magnetization A= area of loop(m) AM.
