A) Square of the distance
B) Cube of the distance
C) Distance
D) Fourth power of the distance
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Both the magnets are placed in the field of one another, hence potential energy of dipole (2) is \[{{U}_{2}}=-{{M}_{2}}{{B}_{1}}\cos 0=-{{M}_{2}}{{B}_{1}}={{M}_{2}}\times \frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }.\frac{2{{M}_{1}}}{{{r}^{3}}}\] By using \[F=-\frac{dU}{dr}\], Force on magnet (2) is \[{{F}_{2}}=-\frac{d{{U}_{2}}}{dr}=-\frac{d}{dr}\left( \frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }.\frac{2{{M}_{1}}{{M}_{2}}}{{{r}^{3}}} \right)=-\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }.6\frac{{{M}_{1}}{{M}_{2}}}{{{r}^{4}}}\] It can be proved \[\left| {{F}_{1}} \right|=\left| {{F}_{2}} \right|=F=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }.\frac{6{{M}_{1}}{{M}_{2}}}{{{r}^{4}}}\] \[\Rightarrow F\propto \frac{1}{{{r}^{4}}}\]You need to login to perform this action.
