JEE Main 2026 · 24 Jan · Shift 1 · Bar Magnet and Magnetic Dipole
A short bar magnet placed with its axis at 30∘ with an external field of 800 Gauss, experiences a torque of 0.016N.m. The work done in moving it from most stable to most unstable position is α×10−3J. The value of α is ____ .
JEE Main 2026 · 23 Jan · Shift 1 · Magnetic Properties of Materials
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Consider a ferromagnetic material :
Assertion (A) : The individual atoms in a ferromagnetic material possess a magnetic dipole moment and interact with one another in such a way that they spontaneously align themselves forming domains.
Reason (R) : At high enough temperature, the domain structure of ferromagnetic material disintegrates. Thus, magnetization will disappear at high enough temperature known as Curie temperature.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
JEE Main 2025 · 7 Apr · Shift 1 · Magnetic Properties of Materials
The percentage increase in magnetic field (B) when space within a current carrying solenoid is filled with magnesium (magnetic susceptibility χMg=1.2×10−5 ) is :
The coercivity of a magnet is 5×103A/m. The amount of current required to be passed in a solenoid of length 30cm and the number of turns 150, so that the magnet gets demagnetised when inside the solenoid is ________ A.
A compass needle oscillates 20 times per minute at a place where the dip is 30∘ and 30 times per minute where the dip is 60∘. The ratio of total magnetic field due to the earth at two places respectively is x4. The value of x is
