Three wires of equal lengths are bent in the form of loops. One of the loops is a circle, another is a semi-circle and the third one is a square. They are placed in a uniform magnetic field and the same electric current is passed through them. Which of the following loop configuration will experience greater torque?
- Circle
- Semi-circle
- Square
- All of them
The Correct Option is A

- A straight magnetic strip has a magnetic moment of \( 44 \, \text{A m}^2 \). If the strip is bent in a semicircular shape, its magnetic moment will be \( \dots \) A m\(^2\). \[ \text{(Given } \pi = \frac{22}{7} \text{)} \]

- A particle of mass m is moving in the potential
\[ V(x) = \begin{cases} V_0 + \frac{1}{2} m \omega_{0P}^2 x^2 & \quad \text{if } x > 0 \\\infty & \quad \text{if } x \leq 0 \end{cases}\]
Figures P, Q, R, and S show different combinations of the values of \( \omega_0 \) and \( V_0 \).
Let \( E^{(P)}_j \), \( E^{(Q)}_j \), \( E^{(R)}_j \), and \( E^{(S)}_j \) with \( j = 0, 1, 2, \ldots \), be the eigen-energies of the j-th level for the potentials shown in Figures P, Q, R, and S, respectively. Which of the following statements is/are true?- GATE PH - 2024

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.
