Problem 2.12

The magnetic field strength of copper is106 ampere/metre. If the magnetic susceptibility of copper is -0.8 × 10-5, calculate the magnetic flux density and magnentisation in copper. (A.U. May 2014)

 

Given data

Magnetic field strength H = 106 Am-1

Magnetic susceptibility of copper χ = -0.8 × 10-5

Solution

We know that χ = I/ H

I = χ H

= -0.8 x 10-5 × 106

Magnetisation in copper I= -8 Am-1

μr = 1 + χ = 1 + (-0.8 × 10-5)

=1- 10.8 x 10-5

μr= 0.999

= μ H

rμ0H

== 0.999 × 4π × 10-7 × 106

B = 0.999 × 4 × 3.14 × 10-7 × 106

Magnetic flux density B = 1.26 wb m-2

 

Problem 2.13

A magnetic field of 1800 ampere/metre produces a magnetic flux of 3 x 10-5 weber in an iron bar of cross sectional area 0.2 cm2. Calculate magnetic permeability. (A.U. May 2015)

Given data

Magnetizing field H = 1800 Am-1

Magnetic flux ϕ= 3 x 10-5 weber

Area of cross section A = 0.2 cm2 = 0.2 x 10-4 m2

Solution

Magnetic flux density B= Φ/ A

Substituting the given values, we have

B = 3 × 10-5 / 0.2 × 10-4

B = 1.5 weber / metre2

Magnetic permeability 'µ' =B/ H

μ = 1.5/1800

Magnetic permeability μ = 8.333 x 10-4 Hm-1

 

Problem 2.14

The saturation magnetic induction of nickel is 0.65 weber / metre2. If the density of nickel is 8906 kg/m3 and atomic weight is 58.7, calculate the magnetic moment of the nickel atom in Bohr magneton.  (A.U. Dec 2016)

Given data

Magnetic induction of nickel B = 0.65 wb m-2

Density of Nickel ρ = 8906 kg m-3

Atomic weight (M) = 58.7

μ0 = 4π × 10-7 Hm-1

Avagadro's number N = 6.023 x 1026

Solution

We know that B = Nμ0µm

N = ρN/M

N is the number of atoms per unit volume (atoms/m3)

Substituting the given values, we have


We know that 1 Bohr magneton

= 9.27 × 10-24Am2

µm = 5.66 × 10-24 / 9.27 × 10-24

μm = 0.61 Bohr magneton.

 

Problem 2.15

A paramagnetic material has bcc structure with a cube edge of 2.5 Å. If the saturation value of magnetisation is 1.8 x 106 ampere / metre. Calculate the average magnetisation contributed per atom in Bohr magneton. (A.U. Dec. 2016)

Given data

Interatomic distance a = 2.5 Å = 2.5 ×10-10m

Magnetisation M = 1.8 x 106 Am-1

Electronic charge 'e' = 1.6 × 10-19coulomb

Planck's constant h = 6.625 x 10-34Js

Solution

Number of atoms per unit volume

= No. of atoms in an unit cell / volume of the unit cell (a3)

= 2 /(2.5 × 10-10) 3 = 1.28 × 1029 m3

Total magnetisation M = 1.8 × 106 Am-1

Average magnetisation produced per atom

= 1.8 × 106 / 1.28 × 1029=1.406 × 10-23Am-1

Bohr magneton μB = eh/4πm


= 9.27 × 10- 24Am-2

Average magnetisation produced per atom in Bohr magneton=1.4065 x 10-23 / 9.27 × 10-24

= 1.52 Bohr magneton
