PROJECT:-2

Aim:-

To investigate when a bar magnet is placed with its north pole pointing towards the
earth's magnetic north, the two neutral points occur on the equatorial line of the
magnet and when a bar magnet is placed with its south pole pointing towards the
earth's magnetic north, the two neutral points occur on the axial line of the magnet.

Materials Required:-

1. One bar magnet


2. Compass needle
3. White paper
4. Drawing board
5. Drawing pins
6. Pencil
7. Chalk.

PROCEDURE

(i) Find the N-pole-of the bar magnet and mark the end with ink.

(ii) Fix a white paper on the drawing board.

(iii) Draw a line in pencil through the middle of paper along the short edge for
performing the I part of experiment i.e. N-pole of magnet toward north as shown in
Fig. . For the II part of the experiment line will have to be drawn parallel to the
long edge as shown in Fig. .

(iv) Draw the outline of the magnet in the middle of the line also shown above.
Now remove the magnet.
(v) Place a compass needle along this line (magnet outline) and move the wooden
board such that the magnetic needle becomes parallel to the line drawn. This is the
required position i.e. magnetic meridian. Don’t move the board/paper.

(vi) Now remove the compass needle and place the magnet according to your
objective.

N-Pole facing North (N-N)

(i) Place a magnet within its outline such that the North of the magnet points
towards the North of earth.

(ii) Take a small compass box. Place it near the N-pole of the bar magnet with its
pointer pointing towards the pencil dot marked near the N-pole (Fig.). Mark the dot
on the other side of the needle. Move the compass box to the second marked dot,
again mark a dot near the far end of the needle. Repeat this process till you reach
the S-pole. You will get a chain of dots which can be joined by a smooth curved
line, as shown in Fig. .

(iii) Join these dots with a free hand. This gives the line of force. Mark arrow head
on it pointing away for N-pole as shown.

(iv) Draw such lines for different starting points and you will get large number of
lines of force around the magnet. Their shape will be as shown in Fig. .

Neutral Points: - These lines will not cut each other. You will get two regions on
the equatorial line shown by small circles in Fig., where there will be no line of
force. These are the neutral points. There are two neutral points, one on each side
(Equatorial position) of the magnet. If you place the compass here in the circle
with its centre at the neutral point, the needle will not point in any fixed direction.
It can come to rest in any orientation. That shows that no force is acting on it. If
magnet is properly placed, each of these points will be equidistant from the two
poles and lie exactly on equatorial line.
N-facing South (N-S)

(i) For drawing the magnetic field in this case and locating neutral points place the
drawing board with pencil line on paper parallel to long edge of board, along the
N-S line of earth, as shown in the Fig. .

(ii) Now follow the same procedure as in the last experiment. The lines of force
will look as shown in Fig.. Here we see that the two neutral points are located on
the axial line of the magnet. Because it is at these points where the earth’s
horizontal field and the magnetic field of magnet balance each other.
Conclusion:-

A. The neutral point lies on the equatorial line in the N to N case.

B. The neutral point lies on the axial line in the N to S case.


Observation:

2. N-S
