    If a bar magnet of pole strength m and magnetic moment M is cut perpendicular to its axis in two equal halves then its new pole strength m' and magnetic moment M' are respectively

    A) \[m'=m\] and \[M'=M\]

    B) \[m'=m\] and \[M'=\frac{M}{2}\]

    C) \[m'=\frac{m}{2}\] and \[M'=2M\]

    D) \[m'=2m\] and \[M'=\frac{M}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] When a bar magnet cut perpendicular to its axis into two equal parts then m' = m and length \[\ell '=\frac{\ell }{2}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,{{M}^{'}}=m{{\ell }^{'}}=m\frac{\ell }{2}=\frac{M}{2}\]
