Physics Question on Magnetism and matter
A short bar magnet has a magnetic moment of 0.48JT−1. The magnitude and direction of magnetic field produced by the magnet at a distance of 10cm from the centre of the magnet on its axis is
A
0.48×10−4T along N−S direction
B
0.28×10−4T along S−N direction
C
0.28×10−4T along N−S direction
D
0.96×10−4T along S−N direction
Answer
0.96×10−4T along S−N direction
Explanation
Solution
On the axis of the magnet B=4πμ0⋅d32m Here, 4πμ0=10−7Am−2 m=0.48JT−1,d=10cm=0.1m Then, B=(0.1)310−7×2×0.48 =0.96×10−4T, along S−N direction.
