Explanation:
When no current is passed through the coil, the magnetic needle is influenced only by BH. When current I is passed, there is a
magnetic field B along the axis of the coil, perpendicular to BH. The magnetic needle comes to rest at an angle with BH, such
that,
B = BH tan θ

Properties of paramagnetic materials:

i. They are feebly attracted by magnets.
ii. χ is positive and small.

The direction of M is along the axis of the solenoid in the direction related to the sense of current via the right handed screw
rule.
b. The magnetic field is given to be uniform. So, the force on the solenoid is zero.

26. i. If −1 ≤ χ < 0 , the material is diamagnetic. The range of relative magnetic permeability is 0 ≤ μ r < 1 .
ii. If 0 < χ < ε , the material is paramagnetic.

b. For pattern of the field lines,

27. i. The angle of dip decreases from 90° to 0° as we move from pole to the equator of earth.
ii. For paramagnetic materials, magnetic lines of force are feebly attracted by the materials and for that reason only a few
magnetic field lines enter in it. So, specimen X is paramagnetic. For ferromagnetic materials, all magnetic lines of force prefer
to go through it. So, specimen Y is ferromagnetic.
iii. Magnetic permeability of X is less than 1 and of Y is greater than 1.
