The current required to be passed through a solenoid of 15 cm length and 60 turns in order to demagnetize a bar magnet of magnetic intensity \(2.4 × 10^3Am^{−1}\) is A.
The magnetic intensity \( H \) inside a solenoid is given by:
\[ H = \frac{N I}{l} \]
Where:
Rearrange the formula to solve for \( I \):
\[ I = \frac{H l}{N} \]
Substitute \( H = 2.4 \times 10^3 \, \text{A/m} \), \( l = 0.15 \, \text{m} \), and \( N = 60 \):
\[ I = \frac{(2.4 \times 10^3)(0.15)}{60} \]
Simplify the expression:
\[ I = \frac{360}{60} = 6 \, \text{A} \]
The current required to demagnetize the bar magnet is \( 6 \, \text{A}. \)
A thin transparent film with refractive index 1.4 is held on a circular ring of radius 1.8 cm. The fluid in the film evaporates such that transmission through the film at wavelength 560 nm goes to a minimum every 12 seconds. Assuming that the film is flat on its two sides, the rate of evaporation is:


In the first configuration (1) as shown in the figure, four identical charges \( q_0 \) are kept at the corners A, B, C and D of square of side length \( a \). In the second configuration (2), the same charges are shifted to mid points C, E, H, and F of the square. If \( K = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \), the difference between the potential energies of configuration (2) and (1) is given by:
