A domain in a ferromagnetic substance is in the form of a cube of side length \(1 \mu \mathrm{m}\). If it contains \(8 \times 10^{10}\) atoms and each atomic dipole has a dipole moment of \(9 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{~A} \mathrm{~m}^{2}\) then magnetization of the domain is \(\mathrm{A} \mathrm{m}^{-1}\) a) \(7.2 \times 10^{5}\) (b) \(7.2 \times 10^{3}\) (c) \(7.2 \times 10^{5}\) (d) \(7.2 \times 10^{3}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The magnetization of the domain is \(7.2 \times 10^5 A/m\).

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the total magnetic moment

To find the total magnetic moment, we need to multiply the number of atoms by the dipole moment of each atom: Total magnetic moment = (number of atoms) × (dipole moment of each atom) Total magnetic moment = (8 × 10^{10}) × (9 × 10^{-24} A·m^2)
02

Calculate the volume of the domain

As the domain is cube-shaped, we can calculate its volume by taking the cube of its side length. The side length of the domain is given as 1 µm, which is equal to 10^{-6} m. Thus, the volume of the domain is given by: Volume = (side length)^3 Volume = (10^{-6} m)^3 Volume = 10^{-18} m^3
03

Calculate the magnetization of the domain

Now that we have the total magnetic moment and the volume of the domain, we can calculate the magnetization (M) with the formula: M = total magnetic moment / volume M = [(8 × 10^{10}) × (9 × 10^{-24} A·m^2)] / (10^{-18} m^3) M = 7.2 × 10^5 A/m Therefore, the magnetization of the domain is 7.2 × 10^5 A/m, which corresponds to option (c) in the given choices.
