The magnitude of the dipole moment associated with an atom of iron in an iron bar is 2.1×10-23J/T. Assume that all the atoms in the bar, which is5.0cmlong and has a cross-sectional area of1.0cm2, have their dipole moments aligned. (a) What is the dipole moment of the bar? (b) What torque must be exerted to hold this magnet perpendicular to an external field of magnitude1.5T? (The density of iron is7.9g/m3.)

Short Answer

  2. The torque required isT=13N.m

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

μFe=2.1×10−23J/TA=1.0cm2B=1.5TÒÏ=7.9g/cm3

Understanding the concepts of torque and dipole moment 

We can find the number of atoms in iron atom by using the mass of the iron bar, the molar mass and Avogadro’s number. Then, find the dipole moment of the bar using the dipole of moment of the atom and the number of atoms in the iron bar. Torque can be calculated by using the dipole moment of the bar and the magnetic field.

Formula:

Number of atoms in the iron bar isN=(mM)×NA

Here,

Calculations of the dipole moment of the bar

(a)

Mass(m)=Density(ÒÏ)×volume(V)m=7.9×1.0×5.0=39.5g

The number of atoms in the iron bar is

N=mM×NA=39.555.847×6.023×1023=4.3×1023atoms

The dipole moment of the iron bar:

μ=μFe×N=2.1×10-23×(4.26×1023)=8.9A⋅m2

The dipole moment of the bar isμ=8.9A⋅m2
