12 Physics Notes Ch05 Magnetism and Matter
• Poles:
a) The pole near the geographic north pole of the earth is called the north magnetic
pole.
b) The pole near the geographic south – pole is called the south magnetic pole.
c) The magnitude of the magnetic field on the earth’s surface = 4 x 10-5 T.
• Elements of the Earth’s Magnetic Field:
Three quantities are needed to specify the magnetic field of the earth on its surface,
a) The horizontal component
b) The magnetic declination
c) The magnetic dip.
These are known as the elements of the earth’s magnetic field.
• Magnetic Intensity:
Consider a material placed in an external magnetic field B0 . The magnetic intensity is,
B0
H=
µ0
If the magnetization M of the material is its dipole moment per unit volume, then the
magnetic field B in the material will be,

B = µ0 ( H + M )
For a linear material,
M = χH
So that,
B = µH
Where χ is the magnetic susceptibility of the material and µr is the relative magnetic
permeability.
• Relationship between µ , µ0 and µ r
:
The magnetic permeability area, µ is related as,
µ = µ0 µ r
µr = 1 + χ
• Classification of Magnetic Materials:
Magnetic materials are broadly classified as,
a) Diamagnetic
b) Paramagnetic
c) Ferromagnetic
• Magnetic Susceptibility of the Material for Magnetic Materials:
a) For diamagnetic materials χ is negative and small.
b) For paramagnetic materials χ is positive and small.
c) For ferromagnetic materials χ lies between B and H
• Permanent Magnets:
Substances which retain their ferromagnetic property for a long period of time at room
temperature are called permanent magnets.
