$A$ bar magnet of magnetic moment $M$ is placed at a distance $D$ with its axis along the positive $X$-axis. Likewise, a second bar magnet of magnetic moment $M$ is placed at a distance $2D$ on the positive $Y$-axis and perpendicular to it as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the magnetic field at the origin is $|\vec{B}| = \alpha \left[ \frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{M}{D^3} \right]$. The value of $\alpha$ must be (Assume $D \gg l$, where $l$ is the length of the magnets).

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $\frac{15}{8}$
  • C
    $\frac{17}{8}$
  • D
    $\frac{9}{8}$

Two short bar magnets have their magnetic moments $1.2 \text{ A m}^2$ and $1.0 \text{ A m}^2$. They are placed on a horizontal table parallel to each other at a distance of $20 \text{ cm}$ between their centres,such that their north poles point towards geographic south. They have a common magnetic equatorial line. The horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is $3.6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$.
