Explain quantitatively the order of magnitude difference between the diamagnetic susceptibility of $\mathrm{N}_2\left(\sim 5 \times 10^{-9}\right)$ (at STP) and $\mathrm{Cu}\left(\sim 10^{-5}\right)$.

Explanation

We know that

Density of nitrogen $\rho_{\mathrm{N}_2}=\frac{28 \mathrm{~g}}{22.4 \mathrm{~L}}=\frac{28 \mathrm{~g}}{22400 \mathrm{cC}}$

Also, density of copper $\rho_{\mathrm{Cu}}=\frac{8 \mathrm{~g}}{22.4 \mathrm{~L}}=\frac{8 \mathrm{~g}}{22400 \mathrm{cc}}$

Now, comparing both densities

$$\frac{\rho_{\mathrm{N}_2}}{\rho_{\mathrm{Cu}}}=\frac{28}{22400} \times \frac{1}{8}=1.6 \times 10^{-4}$$

Also given $\quad \frac{\chi_{\mathrm{N}_2}}{\chi_{\mathrm{Cu}}}=\frac{5 \times 10^{-9}}{10^{-5}}=5 \times 10^{-4}$

$$\begin{aligned} \text { We know that, } \quad \chi & =\frac{\text { Magnetisation }(M)}{\text { Magnetic intensity }(H)} \\ & =\frac{\text { Magnetic moment }(M) / \text { Volume }(V)}{H} \\ & =\frac{M}{H V}=\frac{M}{H \text { (mass / density) }}=\frac{M \rho}{H m} \end{aligned}$$

$$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \chi \propto \rho \quad\left(\because \frac{M}{H m}=\text { constant }\right) \\ & \text { Hence, } \quad \frac{\chi_{\mathrm{N}_2}}{\chi_{\mathrm{Cu}}}=\frac{\rho_{\mathrm{N}_2}}{\rho_{\mathrm{Cu}}}=1.6 \times 10^{-4} \end{aligned}$$

Thus, we can say that magnitude difference or major difference between the diamagnetic susceptibility of $\mathrm{N}_2$ and Cu .

From molecular view point, discuss the temperature dependence of susceptibility for diamagnetism, paramagnetism and ferromagnetism.

Explanation

Susceptibility of magnetic material $\chi=\frac{I}{H}$, where $I$ is the intensity of magnetisation induced in the material and $H$ is the magnetising force.

Diamagnetism is due to orbital motion of electrons in an atom developing magnetic moments opposite to applied field. Thus, the resultant magnetic moment of the diamagnetic material is zero and hence, the susceptibility $\chi$ of diamagnetic material is not much affected by temperature.

Paramagnetism and ferromagnetism is due to alignments of atomic magnetic moments in the direction of the applied field. As temperature is raised, the alignment is disturbed, resulting decrease in susceptibility of both with increase in temperature.

A ball of superconducting material is dipped in liquid nitrogen and placed near a bar magnet.

(i) In which direction will it move?

(ii) What will be the direction of its magnetic moment?

Explanation

When a diamagnetic material is dipped in liquid nitrogen, it again behaves as a diamagnetic material. Thus, superconducting material will again behave as a diamagnetic material. When this diamagnetic material is placed near a bar magnet, it will be feebly magnetised opposite to the direction of magnetising field.

(i) Thus, it will be repelled.

(ii) Also its direction of magnetic moment will be opposite to the direction of magnetic field of magnet.

Verify the Gauss's law for magnetic field of a point dipole of dipole moment m at the origin for the surface which is a sphere of radius $R$.

Explanation

Let us draw the figure for given situation,

We have to prove that $\boldsymbol{\delta B} \cdot d \mathbf{S}=0$. This is called Gauss's law in magnetisation.

According to question,

Magnetic moment of dipole at origin $O$ is

$$\mathrm{M}=M \hat{k}$$

Let $P$ be a point at distance $r$ from $O$ and $O P$ makes an angle $\theta$ with $z$-axis. Component of $M$ along $O P=M \cos \theta$.

Now, the magnetic field induction at $P$ due to dipole of moment $\mathrm{M} \cos \theta$ is

$$\mathbf{B}=\frac{\alpha_0}{4 \pi} \frac{2 M \cos \theta}{r^3} \hat{\mathbf{r}}$$

From the diagram, $r$ is the radius of sphere with centre at $O$ lying in $y z$-plane. Take an elementary area $d \mathbf{S}$ of the surface at $P$. Then,

$$\begin{aligned} d \mathbf{S} & =r(r \sin \theta d \theta) \hat{\mathbf{r}}=r^2 \sin \theta d \theta \hat{\mathbf{r}} \\ \oint \cdot d \mathbf{S} & =\oint \frac{\alpha_0}{4 \pi} \frac{2 M \cos \theta}{r^3} \hat{\mathbf{r}}\left(r^2 \sin \theta d \theta \hat{\mathbf{r}}\right) \\ & =\frac{\alpha_0}{4 \pi} \frac{M}{r} \int_0^{2 \pi} 2 \sin \theta \cdot \cos \theta d \theta \\ & =\frac{\alpha_0}{4 \pi} \frac{M}{r} \int_0^{2 \pi} \sin 2 \theta d \theta \\ & =\frac{\alpha_0}{4 \pi} \frac{M}{r}\left(\frac{-\cos 2 \theta}{2}\right)_0^{2 \pi} \\ & =-\frac{\alpha_0}{4 \pi} \frac{M}{2 r}[\cos 4 \pi-\cos 0] \\ & =\frac{\alpha_0}{4 \pi} \frac{M}{2 r}[1-1]=0 \end{aligned}$$

Three identical bar magnets are rivetted together at centre in the same plane as shown in figure. This system is placed at rest in a slowly varying magnetic field. It is found that the system of magnets does not show any motion. The north-south poles of one magnet is shown in the figure. Determine the poles of the remaining two.

Explanation

The system will be in stable equilibrium if the net force on the system is zero and net torque on the system is also zero. This is possible only when the poles of the remaining two magnets are as given in the figure.
