5.Magnetism and Matter
medium

The magnetic field at a point $x $ on the axis of a small bar magnet is equal to the field at a point $  y  $ on the equator of the same magnet. The ratio of the distances of $x$ and $y$  from the centre of the magnet is

A

${2^{ - 3}}$

B

${2^{ - 1/3}}$

C

${2^3}$

D

${2^{1/3}}$

Solution

(d)${B_1} = \frac{{2M}}{{{x^3}}}\;and\;{B_2} = \frac{M}{{{y^3}}}$
As ${B_1} = {B_2}$
Hence $\frac{{2M}}{{{x^3}}} = \frac{M}{{{y^3}}}{\rm{or}}\frac{{{x^3}}}{{{y^3}}} = 2\;{\rm{or}}\;\frac{x}{y} = {2^{1/3}}$
