NCERT Solutions for class 12 physics chapter 5 Magnetism and Matter are given in this article with a detailed explanation. Magnetism is a force by virtue of which a metal is attracted to certain materials, which are known as magnets. These days magnets have a lot of applications in areas such as an electric bell, telephone, radio, loudspeaker, motors, fans, screwdrivers, etc.

The chapter has a weightage of 5 to 6 marks in the CBSE Class 12 Physics Examination. The NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Physics Chapter 5 covers concepts of the dipole moment of a magnet, permanent magnets, classification of magnetic materials, etc.

Class 12 Physics Chapter 5 Magnetism and Matter – Important Concepts

  • Magnetic field lines are the imaginary lines along which the North Magnetic move.
The larger the number of magnetic field lines per unit area, the stronger the magnetic field will be.
  • When a magnet placed in a uniform magnetic field B experiences a dipole moment m, then it experiences a force, torque, and potential energy.
  1. Force = zero
  2. Torque = m*B
  3. Potential energy = m*B. 
  • Magnetic Materials are classified as Diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic. χ refers to the magnetic sensitivity of the material.

  1. Diamagnetic materials – negative and small χ 
  2. Paramagnetic materials – positive and small χ
  3. Ferromagnetic materials – large χ.
  • The magnetic field of a solenoid with a radius, carrying I current at distance r on the axis is given by: 

\(B = {\mu_0 \over 4\pi} {2m \over r^3}\)
  • In the above formula, m refers to the magnetic moment of the solenoid that is given by – 

\(m = n(2l)(\pi a^2)\)
