Question
Define a magnet and write its characteristics of directive property and pole strength.
✓
Answer
Such a substance which attracts other magnetic substances such as iron etc. towards itself and when it is suspended freely, then it rests in north-south direction. Its two and equal opposite poles are separated by some distance.
Directive property : When any bar magnet is suspended freely, it always rests in a definite direction. Its one end is towards the north and the other is towards the south which are known as north pole and south pole respectively. A bar magnet always exhibits north and south direction.
Pole strength : Strength of magnetisation of magnetic poles is known as pole strength. Pole strength of both poles of a bar magnet is same. If a bar magnet is cut perpendicular to its axis, then pole strength of poles of each part will almost be same as of original magnet and if it is cut in to equal parts along its axis, then pole strength of each part will be half that of original bar magnet.

A short bar magnet placed in a horizontal plane has its axis aligned along the magnetic north-south direction. Null points are found on the axis of the magnet at 14 cm from the centre of the magnet. The earth’s magnetic field at the place is 0.36 G and the angle of dip is zero. What is the total magnetic field on the normal bisector of the magnet at the same distance as the null–point (i.e., 14 cm) from the centre of the magnet? (At null points, field due to a magnet is equal and opposite to the horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field.)
