Question:

If $\mu_0$ is absolute permeability of vacuum and $\mu_r$ is relative magnetic permeability of another medium, then permeability $\mu$ of the medium is

Updated On: Jun 23, 2023
  • $\mu_0 , \mu_r$
  • $\mu_0 / \mu_r$
  • $\mu_r/ \mu_0$
  • $1 /\mu_0 , \mu_r$

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

If $\mu_{0}$ represents the permeability of free space and $\mu$ represents the permeability of a particular substance, then the relative permeability $\mu_{ r }$ of that substance is given by: $\mu_{r}=\frac{\mu}{\mu_{0}}$ $\Rightarrow \mu=\mu_{0} \mu_{ r }$

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.
