 Chapter: Magnetism and Matter – Class 12 Physics Notes


πŸ”Έ 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.

πŸ”Ή 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}

πŸ”Ή 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

πŸ”Ή 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)

πŸ”Ή 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}

πŸ”Ή 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



---


πŸ”Ή 6. Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability


Susceptibility (Ο‡):



\chi = \frac{M}{H}


Relative Permeability (ΞΌr):



\mu_r = \frac{\mu}{\mu_0}



---


πŸ”Ή 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.




---


πŸ”Ή 8. Comparison Table


Property Diamagnetic Paramagnetic Ferromagnetic


Susceptibility Negative Small Positive Large Positive

Field Behavior Repelled Weakly Attracted Strongly Attracted

Examples Bismuth Aluminium Iron
