Wonders of magnetism evoke interest in students

On 3rd day of INSPIRE Internship Winter Camp II at RSU

Raipur, December 17, 2010

Magnetism is not difficult, but simply requires carefully attention. It is almost ubiquitous on earth and hence it carries significance in human life. Professor Kalobaran Maiti from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) Mumbai was explaining how magnetism is doing miracles while speaking on subject - ‘Wonderful world of magnetism’ during the third day of Pt Ravishankar Shukla University’s (RSU) five-day Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research (INSPIRE) Internship Winter Camp II on Friday.
“Magnetism is a force of attraction or repulsion that acts at a distance. It is due to a magnetic field, which is caused by moving electrically charged particles or is inherent in magnetic objects such as a magnet,” Professor Maiti said.
“A magnet is an object that exhibits a strong magnetic field and will attract materials like iron to it. Magnets have two poles, called the north (N) and south (S) poles. Two magnets will be attracted by their opposite poles, and each will repel the like pole of the other magnet. Magnetism has many uses in modern life,” he added.
Talking about Michael Faraday who is known for his fundamental discoveries on electricity and magnetism and had also proposed a widely used method for visualizing magnetic fields, Professor Maiti said, “Faraday not only viewed the space around a magnet as filled with field lines, but also developed an intuitive notion that such space was itself modified, even if it was a complete vacuum.”
On Faraday’s younger contemporary, the great Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, Professor Maiti said, “Maxwell placed this notion on a firm mathematical footing, including in it electrical forces as well as magnetic ones. Such a modified space is now known as an electromagnetic field.”
He said currently the electromagnetic fields (and other types of field as well) were a cornerstone of physics. “Their basic equations, derived by Maxwell, suggested that they could undergo wave motion, spreading with the speed of light, and Maxwell correctly guessed that this actually was light and that light was in fact an electromagnetic wave,” he said.
Professor Maiti further informed about Heinrich Hertz from Germany who had produced such waves by electrical means, in the first laboratory demonstration of radio waves. “Nowadays a wide variety of such waves is known, from radio (very long waves, relatively low frequency) to microwaves, infra-red, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays and gamma rays (very short waves, extremely high frequency),” he said.
The other lectures were imparted by Professor VS Sunder from Institute of Mathematical Sciences Chennai who spoke on subject – ‘Catalan numbers’ and Professor Nitin Chattopadhyay from Jhadhavpur University Kolkata on – ‘Chemistry for you’.


Cong: Give Rs 100 per quintal to farmers as compensation

Choubey hails CM’s letter to Agri Minister Sharad Pawar

Raipur, December 17, 2010

The state government should announce at least Rs 100 per quintal as compensation package for farmers who have incurred huge loss due to unseasonal rains. The leader of the Opposition at state Assembly Ravindra Choubey on Friday demanded from the government that the farmers must get compensation as majority of their crops damaged due to intermittent rains in the past couple of months including the recent ones in the beginning of December 2010.
Choubey also hailed Chief Minister Raman Singh’s letter to Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar pertaining to his demands for relaxation of paddy purchase norms in state in wake of unexpected rains that damaged huge amount of crops.
However, he slammed paddy procurement process of the government terming it slow. “The government has by far purchased only 10 lakh tonnes paddy against the target of 50 lakh tonnes which is very less. Now, what about the remaining amount of paddy? Either, several tonnes of paddy have been damaged in the fields or during transportation to procurement centres,” he said.
Choubey also criticised the government for not posing generosity towards the farmers after rains damaged their crops. “The farmers are not getting benefit of crop insurance schemes which is a gross negligence from government’s part,” he said.
“The farmers are already indebted heavily because of farm loans and duplicate fertilisers, substandard seeds and rains have further put them in the low spirits,” he said.
“The government has also refrained to disburse the bonus as it had promised earlier and now if it would not announce the compensation package, the indebted farmers might compelled to commit suicide,” he said.
