CBSEENPH12039498

The coercivity of a small magnet where the ferromagnet gets demagnetized is 3 x 103Am-1.The current required to be passed in a solenoid of length 10 cm and number of turns 100, so that the magnet gets demagnetized when inside the solenoid, is

  • 30 mA

  • 60 mA

  • 3 A

  • 6 A

Solution

C.

3 A

For solenoid, the magnetic field needed to be magnetised the magnet,
B =μonl
Where, n = 100
l = 10 cm = 10/100 m  = 0.1m
3 space straight x space 10 cubed space equals space fraction numerator 100 over denominator 0.1 end fraction space straight x space l
l space equals 3 straight A
