Field of a Magnet & Magnet in a Uniform Field

Two identical bar magnets each of magnetic moment MM, separated by some distance are kept perpendicular to each other. The magnetic induction at a point at the same distance dd from the centre of magnets, is (μ0=\mu_0 = permeability of free space)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. The point lies on the axis of one magnet and on the equatorial line of the other, at distance dd from both.
  2. Baxial=μ04π2Md3B_{\text{axial}} = \dfrac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\dfrac{2M}{d^3}, Beq=μ04πMd3B_{\text{eq}} = \dfrac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\dfrac{M}{d^3}, and the two fields are perpendicular.
  3. B=Baxial2+Beq2=μ04πMd34+1B = \sqrt{B_{\text{axial}}^2 + B_{\text{eq}}^2} = \dfrac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\dfrac{M}{d^3}\sqrt{4+1}
  4. So the answer is (c) μ04π(5)Md3\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}(\sqrt{5})\frac{M}{d^3}.
