5.Magnetism and Matter
easy
Two identical bar magnets are fixed with their centres at a distance $d$ apart. A stationary charge $Q$ is placed at $P$ in between the gap of the two magnets at a distance $D$ from the center $O$ as shown in the figure. The force on the charge $Q$ is

A
Directed along $OP$
B
Zero
C
Directed along $PO$
D
Directed perpendicular to the plane of paper
(AIPMT-2010)
Solution
Magnetic field due to bar magnets exerts force on moving charges only. Since the charge is at rest, zero force acts on it.
