Two short magnets of equal dipole moments $M$ are fastened perpendicularly at their centres. The magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance $d$ from the centre on the bisector of the right angle is ($\mu_0 =$ Permeability of free space).

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{2 \sqrt{2} M}{d^3}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{5 M}{d^3}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{2 M}{d^3}$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{10 M}{d^3}$

Give some of the commonly known ideas regarding magnetism.

Verify Ampere's law for the magnetic field of a point dipole with dipole moment $\vec{M} = M\hat{k}$. Take $C$ as the closed curve running clockwise along the $x$-axis from $x = R$ to $x = a$,then along a circular arc of radius $r$ in the $xz$-plane from $\theta = 0$ to $\theta = \pi$,and finally back to the starting point.

Assertion: The poles of a magnet cannot be separated by breaking it into two pieces.
Reason: The magnetic moment will be reduced to half when a magnet is broken into two equal pieces.

Choose the correct statement.

Use:
$(i)$ the Ampere's law for $\vec{H}$ and
$(ii)$ continuity of lines of $\vec{B}$,to conclude that inside a bar magnet,
$(a)$ lines of $\vec{H}$ run from the $N$ pole to $S$ pole,while
$(b)$ lines of $\vec{B}$ must run from the $S$ pole to $N$ pole.
