Two short bar magnets of length each have magnetic moments and respectively. They are placed on a horizontal table parallel to each other with their poles pointing towards the South. They have a common magnetic equator and are separated by a distance of . The value of the resultant horizontal magnetic induction at the mid-point of the line joining their centres is close to ():
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
1. Midpoint is at distance from each magnet.2. The point is on the magnetic equator (equatorial line) of both magnets.3. For a short magnet, .4. Since poles point South, the magnetic fields and of the magnets at the midpoint will point North.5. also points North.6. ..
