Suppose each iron atom possesses a permanent magnetic moment of Bohr magnetons (where Bohr magneton equals ). The density of atoms in iron is given as . Determine the maximum magnetization in a long cylinder of iron.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Maximum magnetization is achieved when all atomic magnetic moments are perfectly aligned parallel to each other.
The maximum magnetization is the total magnetic moment per unit volume, given by:
where is the number of atoms per unit volume and is the magnetic moment of each atom.
Substituting the given values:
The maximum magnetization is the total magnetic moment per unit volume, given by:
where is the number of atoms per unit volume and is the magnetic moment of each atom.
Substituting the given values:
