- A coil of 60 turns and area \( 1.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^2 \) carrying a current of 2 A lies in a vertical plane. It experiences a torque of 0.12 Nm when placed in a uniform horizontal magnetic field. The torque acting on the coil changes to 0.05 Nm after the coil is rotated about its diameter by 90°.

A block of certain mass is placed on a rough floor. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block and the floor are 0.4 and 0.25 respectively. A constant horizontal force \( F = 20 \, \text{N} \) acts on it so that the velocity of the block varies with time according to the following graph. The mass of the block is nearly (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)):

Magnetism & Matter
Magnets are used in many devices like electric bells, telephones, radio, loudspeakers, motors, fans, screwdrivers, lifting heavy iron loads, super-fast trains, especially in foreign countries, refrigerators, etc.
Magnetite is the world’s first magnet. This is also called a natural magnet. Though magnets occur naturally, we can also impart magnetic properties to a substance. It would be an artificial magnet in that case.

Some of the properties of the magnetic field lines are:
- The lines and continuous and outside the magnet, the field lines originate from the North pole and terminate at the South pole
- They form closed loops traversing inside the magnet.
- But here the lines seem to originate from the South pole and terminate at the North pole to form closed loops.
- More number of close lines indicate a stronger magnetic field
- The lines do not intersect each other
- The tangent drawn at the field line gives the direction of the field at that point.
