title: Problem Set 10

## (13.1)
### (a)
{:.question}
Estimate the diamagnetic susceptibility of a typical solid.
### (b)
{:.question}
Using this, estimate the field strength needed to levitate a frog, assuming a gradient that drops to
zero across the frog. Express your answer in teslas.
## (13.2)
{:.question}
Estimate the size of the direct magnetic interaction energy between two adjacent free electrons in a
solid, and compare this to the size of their electrostatic interaction energy. Remember that the
field of a magnetic dipole $$\vec{m}$$ is
$$
\vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi}
\left[ \frac{3 \hat{x} (\hat{x} \cdot \vec{m}) - \vec{m}}{|\vec{x}|^3} \right]
$$
## (13.3)
{:.question}
Using the equation for the energy in a magnetic field, describe why:
### (a)
{:.question}
A permanent magnet is attracted to an unmagnetized ferromagnet.
### (b)
{:.question}
The opposite poles of permanent magnets attract each other.
## (13.4)
{:.question}
Estimate the saturation magnetization for iron at 0 K.
## (13.5)
### (a)
{:.question}
Show that the area enclosed in a hysteresis loop in the $$(B,H)$$ plane is equal to the energy
dissipated in going around the loop.
### (b)
{:.question}
Estimate the power dissipated if 1 kg of iron is cycled through a hysteresis loop at 60 Hz; the
coercivity of iron is $$\num{4e3} \si{A/m}$$.
## (13.6)
{:.question}
Approximately what current would be required in a straight wire to be able to erase a $$\gamma \text{-} Fe_2 O_3$$
recording at a distance of 1 cm?
