Question

Find the false statement.

(a) Magnetic intensity is a vector quantity

(b) Induced magnetization is a process where you can magnetize a non-magnetic material

(c) Magnetic intensity and intensity of magnetization are the same.

(d) Total intensity is the measurement from the magnetometer after a model of the earth’s normal magnetic field is removed

I had been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

The origin of the question is Magnetisation and Magnetic Intensity in portion Magnetism and Matter of Physics – Class 12

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) Magnetic intensity and intensity of magnetization are the same.

Easy explanation: The statement magnetic intensity and intensity of magnetization are the same is the false one. They are not the same. When a magnet is entering a magnetic field, then the poles of the magnet experiences certain forces. Magnetic intensity refers to the measure of these forces. But, the intensity of magnetization explains the change in the magnetic moment of a magnet as a function of volume. All the other statements are valid.
