5.Magnetism and Matter
medium

A bar magnet of length $ 3 \,cm$  has points $A $ and $ B$  along its axis at distances of $24\, cm$  and $48\, cm$  on the opposite sides. Ratio of magnetic fields at these points will be

A

$8$

B

$1/2\sqrt 2 $

C

$3$

D

$4$

Solution

(a)Both points $ A$  and $B$ lying on the axis of the magnet and on axial position
$B \propto \frac{1}{{{d^3}}}$$⇒$ $\frac{{{B_A}}}{{{B_B}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{d_B}}}{{{d_A}}}} \right)^3} = {\left( {\frac{{48}}{{24}}} \right)^3} = \frac{8}{1}$
