Magnetic poles are the ends of a magnet. The exterior field is powerful. Also, the two sides of magnetite are the north and south pole. It refers to magnetic monopoles. The magnetite's south side draws the north side. It is the property of the attraction mechanism behind this. Moreover, the same side of the magnets lead them apart from each other. It refers to a property of repulsion.

What is Magnet?
[Click Here for Sample Questions]
An object that generates a magnetic field is known as a magnet. Several things like iron, nickel, cobalt, and steel are attracted by magnetite. A bar magnet is one example. The North and South poles are two different sides of a solenoid. In the early days, a magnetic compass needle helped the sailors with navigation.

Magnetic Field Lines
[Click Here for Sample Questions]
It consists of magnetic forces that influence a region. The direction of this force is detected by arrows on the line. That is, from the north pole to the south pole of a magnet. The object that has either a north or south pole is monopoles. Moreover, the magnetic field line plot in several ways. For example, place a magnetic field compass in a different direction and look at its movement. This diagram shows the subject to a magnetic field in space at various positions. The image(Figure 1) shows the path of lines and poles in a magnet.

*The field lines form an endless closed loop. It stretches from the north to the south poles. An electric dipole is not the same as this.
* All the lines contain the same strength.
* When the magnitude of the field is solid, several lines are crossing per unit area.
* Intersection is not seen in magnetic field lines. Also, the direction is not unique at the time of intersecting.
Crucial Formulas of Magnetism.

Formulas are the basics of every finding. An error brings big trouble for solving questions. So, a correct understanding of formulas gives results fast. Given below are the basic formulas in magnetism.
- Bar magnet as Equivalent Solenoid
Consider the magnetic field of a magnet with radius a, carry a current I, at a distance r on-axis. Hence, the formula is,
\(B = \frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{2m}{r^3}\)
Where m is considered as the magnetic moment of a solenoid. Thus, it depicts as,
\(m = \frac{n(2l)}{\pi a^2}\)
- Dipole in Uniform Magnetic field
Take the dipole moment as m places in a magnetic field B with a moment of inertia.
* Magnetic needle act with torque in a uniform magnetic field:
τ = mB sinθ (τ – restoring torque)
* Consider magnetic potential energy as Um.
U m= −m.B
* Work done in a magnetic field by rotating dipole from θ1 to θ2,
W= MB (cos θ1 – cos θ2)
- Electrostatic Analog
Magnetism and current are related to each other. The electric current produces magnetic fields. Hence, the table shows an analogy between magnetic and electric dipoles.
| Description | Electrostatics | Magnetism |
|---|---|---|
| Dipole moment | p | m |
| Equatorial field for a short dipole | \(\frac{-p}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^3}\) | \(\frac{-\mu_0 m}{4 \pi r^3}\) |
| Axial Field for a short dipole | \(\frac{2p}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^3}\) | \(\frac{\mu_0 2m}{4 \pi r^3}\) |
| External Field: torque | p × E | m × B |
| External Field: Energy | –p.E | –m.B |
