ACKNOWLEDG

EMENT
I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt
gratitude to my physics teacher Mrs. Radha
who helped me in this endeavor and has always
been very cooperative and without her help,
cooperation, guidance and encouragement the
project couldn’t have been what it evolved to
be.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to my faculty for

their guidance and constant supervision, as well
as, for providing me the necessary information
regarding the project.

I am also thankful to my parents for their

cooperation and encouragement.

Aim:-
To investigate the number of images formed by the
combination of two mirrors.

Materials Required:-
1. Protractor
2. Two Identical Small Plane
Mirrors
3. Modelling Clay
 4. Small Object(Coin, Small
Figure,etc)
5. Strip Of Paper
6. Pen
7. Plastic Packing Tape
PROCEDURE
1. Take a drawing board, spread a white sheet on it.
2. Draw a semicircle on the white sheet.
3. Mark the angles from 0° to 180° with the help of
protractor.
4. Take two plane mirrors of same size join them
with cellophane tape as shown in the figure.
5. Keep the mirrors on the semicircle such that the
angle between the mirrors is 120° .
6. Now bring a burning candle in between the
mirrors.
7. Observe the number of images formed by the
two Mirrors.
8. Change the angles between the mirrors from
120° to 90°, 60°, 45°, and 30° respectively.
9. Observe the number of images formed in each
position. Tabulate the observation.

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.
