Two short bar magnets have magnetic moments $1.2 \text{ Am}^2$ and $1.0 \text{ Am}^2$. They are placed on a horizontal table parallel to each other at a distance of $20 \text{ cm}$ between their centres, such that their north poles point towards the geographic south. They share a common magnetic equatorial line. The horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is $3.6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$. Calculate the resultant horizontal magnetic induction at the midpoint of the line joining their centres. (Given: $\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} = 10^{-7} \text{ N/A}^2$)

  • A
    $3.6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$
  • B
    $1.84 \times 10^{-4} \text{ T}$
  • C
    $2.56 \times 10^{-4} \text{ T}$
  • D
    $5.8 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$

$A$ magnet of magnetic moment $M$ is lying in a uniform magnetic field $B$. $W_1$ is the work done in turning it from $0^o$ to $60^o$ and $W_2$ is the work done in turning it from $30^o$ to $90^o$. Then:

$A$ magnetic dipole is under the influence of two orthogonal magnetic fields, $B_1 = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \ T$ and $B_2 = 0.866 \times 10^{-3} \ T$. If the dipole comes to stable equilibrium at an angle $\theta$ with respect to the $B_2$ field, then the value of $\theta$ is (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ magnetic needle suspended parallel to a magnetic field requires $\sqrt{3} \text{ J}$ of work to turn it through $60^{\circ}$. The torque needed to maintain the needle in this position will be

$A$ short bar magnet of magnetic moment $0.21 \ A \cdot m^2$ is placed with its axis perpendicular to the direction of the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field. The distance of the point on the axis of the magnet from the centre of the magnet where the resultant magnetic field is inclined at $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal component of the earth's field direction is (horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field $= 4.2 \times 10^{-5} \ T$). (in $cm$)

$A$ torque of $1.732 \times 10^{-5} \text{ Nm}$ is required to hold a magnet at $90^{\circ}$ with the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field. The torque required to hold it at $60^{\circ}$ will be $\left[\sin 90^{\circ}=1, \sin 60^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right] [\sqrt{3} = 1.732]$
