Key Learnings
1. Magnetic materials tend to point in the north – south direction.
4. Gauss’s law for magnetism states that the net magnet flux through
5. The pole near the geographic north pole of the earth is called the north
magnetic pole.
The pole near the geographic south – pole is called the south magnetic
pole.
T.
6. Three quantities are needed to specify the magnetic field of the earth
The magnetization M of the material is its dipole moment per unit
volume.
The magnetic field B in the material is,
B µ0 H M
8. For a linear material M H . So that B µH and
µ = µ 0 µr

µr = 1 +
For ferromagnetic materials lies between B and H .
