• An electron in an atom revolves around the nucleus in an orbit of radius 0.5 Å. Calculate the equivalent magnetic moment if the frequency of revolution of the electron is 10 MHz.
• State the expression for the torque acting on a magnetic dipole in a uniform magnetic field.
• There are different types of shielding available like electrical and accoustic shielding apart from magnetic shielding discussed above. Electrical insulator functions as an electrical barrier or shield and comes in a wide array of materials. Normally the electrical wires used in our households are also shielded. In case of audio recording it is necessary to reduce other stray sound which may interfere with the sound to be recorded. So the recording studios are sound insulated using acoustic material.
