Chapter: Magnetism and Matter – Class 12 Physics Notes
πΈ Introduction:
Magnetism is the phenomenon associated with the motion of electric charges, which gives rise to magnetic fields. This chapter explores bar magnets, Earth's magnetism, magnetic materials, and related laws.

πΉ 1. The Bar Magnet
A bar magnet has two poles: North (N) and South (S).
Magnetic field lines emerge from the North pole and enter the South pole.
Magnetic field strength is strongest at the poles.
Magnetic Moment (M):
\vec{M} = m \times 2l
= magnetic pole strength
= length of the magnet
Torque on a Bar Magnet in Magnetic Field:
\vec{\tau} = \vec{M} \times \vec{B}
Potential Energy:
U = -\vec{M} \cdot \vec{B}

πΉ 2. Earth’s Magnetism
Earth behaves like a giant bar magnet.
The magnetic field of Earth is called geomagnetic field.
Important terms:
Magnetic Declination (D): Angle between geographic meridian and magnetic meridian.
Magnetic Inclination or Dip (I): Angle between Earth's magnetic field and horizontal line.
Horizontal component of Earth’s Magnetic Field (Bh):
B_h = B \cos I

πΉ 3. Magnetic Properties of Materials
Types of Magnetic Materials:
Type Properties
Diamagnetic Weakly repelled by magnetic field (e.g., Bismuth, Copper)
Paramagnetic Weakly attracted (e.g., Aluminium, Platinum)
Ferromagnetic Strongly attracted, can retain magnetism (e.g., Iron, Nickel, Cobalt)

πΉ 4. Magnetic Field Due to a Magnetic Dipole (Short Bar Magnet)
On Axial Line:
B = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \cdot \frac{2M}{r^3}
On Equatorial Line:
B = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \cdot \frac{M}{r^3}
---
πΉ 5. Magnetization and Magnetic Intensity
Magnetization (M): Magnetic moment per unit volume
M = \frac{m}{V}
Magnetic Intensity (H):
B = \mu_0(H + M)
Where = magnetic field,
= permeability of free space
---
πΉ 6. Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
Susceptibility (Ο):
\chi = \frac{M}{H}
Relative Permeability (ΞΌr):
\mu_r = \frac{\mu}{\mu_0}
---
πΉ 7. Hysteresis Loop
It shows the relationship between magnetization (M) and magnetic field intensity (H).
Ferromagnetic materials exhibit hysteresis.
Area of loop = energy loss per cycle.

πΉ 8. Comparison Table

Susceptibility Negative Small Positive Large Positive
Field Behavior Repelled Weakly Attracted Strongly Attracted
Examples Bismuth Aluminium Iron
