An iron bar of length has magnetic moment . It is bent at the middle of its length such that the two arms make an angle with each other. The magnetic moment of this new magnet is:
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the pole strength be . Original magnetic moment .When bent at the middle, each arm has length .The distance between the two poles (effective length ) is the third side of an equilateral triangle (since arms are and the angle is ).Thus, .New magnetic moment .
