Magnetism Question 229

Question: The net magnetic moment of two identical magnets each of magnetic moment $ M _{0} $ , inclined at $ 60{}^\circ $ with each other is

Options:

A) $ M _{0} $

B) $ \sqrt{2},M _{0} $

C) $ \sqrt{3},M _{0} $

D) $ 2M _{0} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] $ M _{net}=\sqrt{M _{0}^{2}+M _{0}^{2}+2M _{0}^{2},\cos ,60^{o}} $

$ =\sqrt{3M _{0}^{2}}=\sqrt{3}M _{0} $
