  • question_answer
    A bar magnet of length 6 cm has a magnetic moment of \[4J\,{{T}^{-1}}.\]Find the strength of magnetic field at a distance of 200 cm from the centre of the magnet along its equatorial line. [JEE ONLINE 07-05-2012]

    A) \[4\times {{10}^{-8}}\text{tesla}\]

    B) \[3.5\times {{10}^{-8}}\text{tesla}\]

    C) \[5\times {{10}^{-8}}\text{tesla}\]

    D) \[3\times {{10}^{-8}}\text{tesla}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Along the equatorial line, magnetic field strength\[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }\frac{M}{{{\left( {{r}^{2}}+{{\ell }^{2}} \right)}^{3/2}}}\]
    Given: \[M=4J{{T}^{-1}}\]
    \[r=200cm=2m\]
    \[\ell =\frac{6cm}{2}=3cm=3\times {{10}^{-2}}m\]
    \[\therefore \]\[B=\frac{4\pi \times {{10}^{-7}}}{4\pi }\times \frac{4}{{{\left[ {{2}^{2}}+{{\left( 3\times {{10}^{-2}} \right)}^{2}} \right]}^{{\scriptstyle{}^{3}/{}_{2}}}}}\]
    Solving we get, \[B=5\times {{10}^{-8}}\]tesla
