Bar Magnet & Magnetic Moment
Following figures show the arrangement of bar magnets in different configurations. Each magnet has magnetic dipole moment Which configuration has highest net magnetic dipole moment?

Show answer and solution
Answer: (c)
- Each moment points from S to N; add them as vectors: for angle between them.
- (1) : . (2) Antiparallel: .
- (3) : .
- (4) : .
- So the answer is (c) configuration (3).
