Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason(R). Assertion (A): Magnetic monopoles do not exist. [cite: 138] Reason (R) : Magnetic field lines are continuous and form closed loops. [cite: 138] In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: [cite: 139]

Solution & Explanation

### Core Logic According to Gauss's Law for Magnetism, the net magnetic flux out of any closed surface is identically zero (oint vecB cdot dvecA = 0). This directly establishes that magnetic poles always occur in equal and opposite pairs (North and South), meaning isolated magnetic monopoles do not exist[cite: 138]. Because every line of magnetic field entering a region must also leave it, these lines are continuous and closed loops[cite: 138]. The non-existence of monopoles is precisely why the field lines form continuous closed paths rather than diverging from or terminating at standalone single pole points[cite: 138]. Both statements are true and (R) provides the definitive causal explanation for (A)[cite: 143, 725]. ### Pattern Recognition Contrast this directly with electrostatics where isolated electric charges do exist, allowing electric field lines to be open lines originating or ending on individual charges. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Magnetism and Matter

Q1 2025 Magnetic Dipole in a Uniform Magnetic Field
A magnetic dipole experiences a torque of 80sqrt3mathrm~N~m when placed in uniform magnetic field in such a way that dipole moment makes angle of 60^circ with magnetic field. The potential energy of the dipole is :
  • A. 80mathrm~J
  • B. -40sqrt3mathrm~J
  • C. -60mathrm~J
  • D. -80mathrm~J

Solution

### Related Formula The torque vectau experienced by a magnetic dipole in a uniform magnetic field vecB is given by: vectau = vecM times vecB Rightarrow tau = MB sintheta The potential energy U of the dipole is given by: U = -vecM cdot vecB = -MB costheta ### Core Logic Given parameters: - Torque tau = 80sqrt3mathrm~N~m - Angle theta = 60^circ ### Step 1: Calculate the value of MB Substitute the given values into the torque formula: 80sqrt3 = MB sin(60^circ) 80sqrt3 = MB left(fracsqrt32right) MB = 160mathrm~J ### Step 2: Calculate Potential Energy Using the potential energy expression: U = -MB cos(60^circ) U = -160 times frac12 = -80mathrm~J ### Pattern Recognition A standard dipole problem checking the relation between torque and potential energy. Note that torque goes with the sine of the angle, whereas potential energy goes with the negative cosine. Dividing torque by potential energy gives -tantheta. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Magnetism and Matter
Q7 2025 Magnetic Materials
The percentage increase in magnetic field (B) when space within a current carrying solenoid is filled with magnesium (magnetic susceptibility chi_mathrmmg = 1.2times 10^-5 ) is:
  • A. frac65 times 10^-3 \%
  • B. frac56 times 10^-5\%
  • C. frac56 times 10^-4\%
  • D. frac53 times 10^-5\%

Solution

### Related Formula The magnetic field inside a filled solenoid is: B_textnew = mu n I The magnetic field in air is: B_textold = mu_0 n I Relative permeability mu_r and susceptibility chi are related by: mu_r = fracmumu_0 = 1 + chi ### Core Logic The percentage increase in magnetic field is: \% text change in B = fracB_textnew - B_textoldB_textold times 100\% \% text change in B = fracmu - mu_0mu_0 times 100\% = (mu_r - 1) times 100\% = chi times 100\% ### Step 1: Substitute and Calculate Given susceptibility chi_mathrmmg = 1.2 times 10^-5: \% text change = 1.2 times 10^-5 times 100\% = 1.2 times 10^-3\% Convert decimal to fraction: 1.2 times 10^-3\% = frac65 times 10^-3\% ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Susceptibility and solenoid field percentage change. Shortcut: The fractional change in magnetic field when inserting a core is exactly equal to its magnetic susceptibility chi. Thus, the percentage change is just chi times 100. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Magnetism and Matter

  • D. text(A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)

Solution

### Related Formula textMagnetic Flux: Phi = B cdot A implies textWeber textMagnetic Intensity: H = fracBmu implies textAmpere/meter ### Core Logic Analyzing official units: - **(A) Magnetic induction** rightarrow Gauss (CGS unit) rightarrow **(III)** - **(B) Magnetic intensity** rightarrow Ampere/meter rightarrow (Note: List-II text erroneously says "Ampere meter" or missing solidus bar, actual standard is mathrmAcdot m^-1) rightarrow **(IV)** - **(C) Magnetic flux** rightarrow Weber rightarrow **(II)** - **(D) Magnetic moment** rightarrow textAmpere meter^2 rightarrow **(I)** Due to typo variants in option strings on the primary list sheet, this question was technically **dropped by NTA**. If picking the closest appropriate intended layout configuration, option (2) presents the best approximation. ### Pattern Recognition Note that this question was officially declared dropped by NTA due to printing formatting discrepancies in the unit labels. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Magnetism and Matter

A schematic mapping out the total \bar magnet layout alongside position coordinate node P.
  • A. 10\%
  • B. 4\%
  • C. 3\%
  • D. 5\%

Solution

### Related Formula The standard expression for the magnetic field B on the axial path at distance r from the magnetic center is given by : B propto frac1r^3 Through logarithmic error differentiation: fracDelta BB = 3 cdot left(fracDelta rrright) ### Core Logic Depending on how the evaluation tracks parameter variables, two interpretations arise: **Method 1 (Approximating without considering variations in ell independently) [cite: 708, 709]:** If the spatial uncertainty is tied entirely to the radial component variable r : fracDelta BB = 3 times 1\% = 3\% **Method 2 (Accounting comprehensively for dimensional dependencies) [cite: 714, 715]:** If the error accumulation bounds combine tracking lengths alongside parameters: fracDelta BB = fracDelta ellell + 3left(fracDelta rrright) = 1\% + 3(1\%) = 4\% Both paths offer distinct structural insights depending on assumptions. The official valuation matrix accepts options reflecting both interpretations. ### Pattern Recognition In general engineering error evaluations, always look at power exponents. If an expression depends inversely on a cubed distance variable, fractional variation scales up by three \times the independent tracking variance. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements Class 12 Physics: Magnetism and Matter
