$A$ bar magnet is placed with its north pole pointing towards the geographic north. The magnetic field at a point $P$ on its equatorial line is zero. If the magnet is rotated by $90^\circ$,what will be the magnetic field at point $P$? The horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is $B_H$.

$A$ bar magnet has a total length $2l = 20$ units and the field point $P$ is at a distance $d = 10$ units from the centre of the magnet. If the relative uncertainty of length measurement is $1\%$,then the uncertainty of the magnetic field at point $P$ is

$(a)$ What happens if a bar magnet is cut into two pieces: $(i)$ transverse to its length,$(ii)$ along its length?
$(b)$ $A$ magnetised needle in a uniform magnetic field experiences a torque but no net force. An iron nail near a bar magnet,however,experiences a force of attraction in addition to a torque. Why?
$(c)$ Must every magnetic configuration have a north pole and a south pole? What about the field due to a toroid?
$(d)$ Two identical-looking iron bars $A$ and $B$ are given,one of which is definitely known to be magnetised. (We do not know which one.) How would one ascertain whether or not both are magnetised? If only one is magnetised,how does one ascertain which one? [Use nothing else but the bars $A$ and $B$.]

Many of the diagrams given in the figure show magnetic field lines (thick lines in the figure) wrongly. Point out what is wrong with them. Some of them may describe electrostatic field lines correctly. Point out which ones.

Assertion: Magnetic Resonance Imaging $(MRI)$ is a useful diagnostic tool for producing images of various parts of the human body.
Reason: Protons of various tissues of the human body play a role in $(MRI)$.
