Magnetism Question 235

Question: The mid points of two small magnetic dipoles of length d in end-on positions, are separated by a distance x, (x»d). The force between them is proportional to $ {{x}^{-n}} $ where n is:

Options:

A) 1

B) 2

C) 3

D) 4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] In magnetic dipole $ Force\propto \frac{1}{r^{4}} $ In the given question. $ Force\propto {{x}^{-n}} $ Hence, n = 4
