Two short bar magnets of magnetic moments $m$ each are arranged at the opposite corners of a square of side $d$ such that their centres coincide with the corners and their axes are parallel. If the like poles are in the same direction,the magnetic induction at any of the other corners of the square is

Deduce the expression for the potential energy of a bar magnet in a uniform magnetic field and discuss special cases.

$A$ negative charge is given to a nonconducting loop and the loop is rotated in the plane of paper about its centre as shown in the figure. The magnetic field produced by the ring affects a small magnet placed above the ring in the same plane:

$A$ bar magnet of magnetic moment $M$ is placed at a distance $D$ with its axis along the positive $X$-axis. Likewise, a second bar magnet of magnetic moment $M$ is placed at a distance $2D$ on the positive $Y$-axis and perpendicular to it as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the magnetic field at the origin is $|\vec{B}| = \alpha \left[ \frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{M}{D^3} \right]$. The value of $\alpha$ must be (Assume $D \gg l$, where $l$ is the length of the magnets).
