5.Magnetism and Matter
medium

Two similar bar magnets $P $ and $Q$ , each of magnetic moment $M,$  are taken, If $P$ is cut along its axial line and $Q$ is cut along its equatorial line, all the four pieces obtained have

A

Equal pole strength

B

Magnetic moment $\frac{M}{4}$

C

Magnetic moment $\frac{M}{2}$

D

Magnetic moment M

Solution

(c)If pole strength, magnetic moment and length of each part are $m',M'$and $L'$respectively then
$m' = \frac{m}{2}$                              $m' = m$
$L' = L$                                         $L' = \frac{L}{2}$
$ \Rightarrow M' = \frac{M}{2}$          $ \Rightarrow M' = \frac{M}{2}$
