Magnetism Question 259

Question: A bar magnet 8 cms long is placed in the magnetic merdian with the N-pole pointing towards geographical north. Two netural points separated by a distance of 6 cms are obtained on the equatorial axis of the magnet. If horizontal component of earth’s field $ =3.2\times {{10}^{-5}}T $ , then pole strength of magnet is

Options:

A) $ 5,ab-amp\times cm $

B) $ 10,ab-amp\times cm $

C) $ 2.5,ab-amp\times cm $

D) $ 20,ab-amp\times cm $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Here, $ 2\ell =8,cm, $

$ \ell =4cm, $

$ d=\frac{6}{2}=3,cm $ . At neutral point, $ H=B=\frac{{\mu _{0}}}{4\pi }\frac{M}{{{(d^{2}+{{\ell }^{2}})}^{3/2}}} $

$ ={{10}^{-7}}\frac{M}{{{(5\times {{10}^{-2}})}^{3}}}=\frac{M}{1250} $
$ \

Therefore ,,,M=1250H=1250\times 3.2\times {{10}^{-5}},Am^{2} $

$ m=\frac{M}{2\ell }=\frac{1250\times 3.2\times {{10}^{-5}}}{8\times {{10}^{-2}}}Am.,,,,=0.5 $

$ Am=0.5\times \frac{1}{10}ab, $

$ amp\times 100,cm $ = 5 ab-amp cm.
