Magnetism Question 166

Question: The magnetic field due to a short magnet at a point on its axis at distance X cm from the middle point of the magnet is 200 Gauss. The magnetic field at a point on the neutral axis at a distance X cm from the middle of the magnet is

[CPMT 1971, 88; MP PET 1985]

Options:

A) 100 Gauss

B) 400 Gauss

C) 50 Gauss

D) 200 Gauss

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Along the axis of magnet $ B _{a}=\frac{2M}{X^{3}}=200,guass $
$ \Rightarrow B _{a}=\frac{M}{X^{3}}=100,guass $
