MAGNETS Q. 13 to Q. 25
1Q Why
the North shown by the Vaastu experts is
wrong?
Earth
has Geographical North and Magenetic North. Vaastu people see North using
compass. Compass shows the Magnetic North but not the Geographical north. That
is if the building should face the East then True North should be marked.
2Q Why
the poles are in North and South directions only. Why they are not in East and
West?
In
the interior layers of the Earth, there is magma. Magma is in plasma state.
That means it is an ionised state of matter. When an ionised state of matter rotates, according
to electromagnetic theory, 90 degrees to that magnetic field is formed. The Earth rotates from West to East. So 90 degrees
to that, that is in north and south directions magnetic field is formed. That
is why poles are in North and South directions only.
3Q How
does North of compass show North of Earth?
4Q When
compass fails what is used?
When
compass fails ships and aircrafts used
gyroscope to know the geographical north and south.
5Q If
we stand on North Pole then what
directions does the magnet show?
When
we stand on North or South pole, the magnet does not show any direction. If we
are on the North pole, then the south of the magnet comes down and its north
points to the sky at 90 degrees. That means the angle of inclination is 90
degrees.
6Q What
is used to know the directions on the poles?
To
know the directions on the poles, gycoscope is used.
7Q Today’s
North cannot be tomorrow’s North?
It
is because the Earth oscillates 47 degrees.
8Q What
is the difference between geographical north and magnetic north?
The
geographical north is solid earth part which lies at 90 degrees in the north.
Magnetic north is the north of the magnetic field formed by ionised state of
plasma. Geographical north is fixed whereas magnetic north changes every day,
9Q How
can you know the true north ?
Place
a stool in the open air. At 8 AM when the sun is in the east, place a white
paper on the stool. In the centre of the stool put point and name it as “O”.
With the help of a compass, with some radius, draw a circle. Take divider and
place one end on the “O”. As the divider is erect it shadow falls on the
circumference of the circle. Mark it as “A”. In the evening at 4 PM you can see
the divider shadow cutting the circumference at another point on the east side.
Mark it as “B”. Remove the divider, join
OA and OB. An angle OAB is formed. Now bisect the angle OAB. The angle bisector
line OC shows that day’s North.
10Q What
is artificial gravity?
When
a body rotates around itself, artificial gravity is created.
11Q When
we come down in a giant we feel fear. Why?
It
is because we feel loss of weight.
12Q How
does North show North?
North
does not show North. The Earth’s south pole is in geographical north. That is
why compass shows north.
13Q What
is magnetic reversal?
Every
70,000 years the poles are reversed. Reasons are not known.
14Q Can
we create a monopole?
It
is not possible.
15Q What
is magneto therapy?
Using
magnets, bones, crossed eyes and some disorders of body are treated. Magnets
are not be used on heart. If a magnet is put in a glass of water in the night,
and the same water is taken, it is said
that it may be good for blood. This is called magneto therapy.
16Q How
can a rotating top stand on the sharp needle?
When
a top rotates, it gets artificial gravity which makes it to stand against
gravitational attraction of the Earth.
17Q What
is the basis of magnetic property?
Magnetic
property is due to unbalanced spin of electrons in the orbits.
18Q Why
the value of g changes from planet to planet and star to star?
The
value of g depends on the amount of plasma that rotates in celestial bodies and
also its rotational speed.
19Q What
is escape velocity?
If
an object from the surface of a planet
or star to go into space with out being influenced by the planet or the star,
what speed is needed is called the
esacpe velocity. For earth it is 11.2 kmps.
20Q Why
the value of escape velocity changes from planet to planet and star to star?
As
the value of “g” changes from planet to planet and star to
star, the escape velocity too changes.
21Q What
is inclination? How does it change?
When
a bar magnet is suspended freely at hangs horizontally to the earth. If is
suspended freely anywhere else, it hangs making some angle to the surface of
the earth. This is called inclination. The inclination is “0” on equator and
“90” at poles.
22Q What
is hyper gravity?
Gravity which is more than g value is
called hyper gravity>
NASA is interested
because it's not just microgravity that astronauts experience in space. They're
exposed to hypergravity, too: up to 3.2-g at launch, and about 1.4-g
on reentry. "Under these conditions," Cohen points out, "fluid
weighs more." The heart has to change the way it operates, pumping faster,
and working harder to push the blood all the way to the brain. This could cause
astronauts to become dizzy or even, in extreme cases, to pass out.
23Q What is zero gravity?
Weightlessness is a phenomenon experienced by people
during free-fall. The term zero gravity is often used as a synonym.
Weightlessness in orbit is not the result of the force
of gravity being eliminated, or even significantly reduced, by distance. Rather, the loss of the influence of gravity
is due to the inertial motion of the flight path.
