A ferromagnetic substance is placed in the varying magnetising field H. The magnetic induction B is a measure for various values of the direct and reverse magnetising field. The following graph has been plotted for B versus H. Choose the wrong statement:
1. | There is a limit of direct and reverse external magnetising field at which the magnetisation and hence the magnetic induction saturates. |
2. | Even after removing the external magnetising field, some residual magnetisation called 'retentivity' is left over the substance. |
3. | On increasing the reverse magnetising field, the magnetic induction decreases to zero for a value of the magnetising field which is known as 'susceptibility'. |
4. | On increasing the reverse magnetising field, the magnetic induction decreases to zero for a value of magnetising field known as 'coercivity'. |
A magnetic needle suspended by a silk thread is vibrating in the earth's magnetic field. If the temperature of the needle is increased, then:

2. | the time period remains unchanged. |
3. | the time period increases. |
4. | the time period first decreases then increases. |

At a certain location in Africa, a compass points 12° west of the geographic north. The north tip of the magnetic needle of a dip circle placed in the plane of magnetic meridian points 60° above the horizontal. The horizontal component of the earth’s field is measured to be 0.16 G. The magnitude of the earth’s field at the location is:

A long solenoid has 1500 turns per metre and an iron core of = 1100 is kept inside it. 2A current flows in the coil of the solenoid. If the core is heated beyond curie temperature, then:
1. | The H and B fields in the solenoid reduce to zero. |
2. | The H and B fields in the solenoid remain unchanged. |
3. | The H field in the solenoid is nearly unchanged but B field decreases significantly. |
4. | The B field in the solenoid is nearly unchanged but the H field decreases significantly. |
As we go from the magnetic equator towards the geographic south pole, the angle of the dip will become:

2. | More and more vertically upward and perpendicular to the surface at the magnetic pole. |
3. | Less and less vertically downward and horizontal at the magnetic pole. |
4. | Less and less vertically upward and horizontal at the magnetic pole. |
