$A$ donut-shaped permanent magnet (magnetization parallel to the axis) can slide frictionlessly on a vertical rod. Treat the magnets as dipoles with mass $m_d$ and dipole moment $M$. When we put two back-to-back magnets on the rod,the upper one will float. At what height $z$ does it float?

  • A
    ${\left[ {\frac{{2{\mu _0}{M^2}}}{{3\pi {m_d}g}}} \right]^{1/4}}$
  • B
    ${\left[ {\frac{{6{\mu _0}{M^2}}}{{\pi {m_d}g}}} \right]^{1/4}}$
  • C
    ${\left[ {\frac{{3{\mu _0}{M^2}}}{{2\pi {m_d}g}}} \right]^{1/4}}$
  • D
    ${\left[ {\frac{{{\mu _0}{M^2}}}{{6\pi {m_d}g}}} \right]^{1/4}}$

Two equal bar magnets are kept as shown in the figure. The direction of the resultant magnetic field,indicated by the arrowhead at point $P$,is (approximately):

$A$ short bar magnet is placed in a uniform magnetic field of $2 \ T$ such that the axis of the magnet makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the direction of the magnetic field. If the torque acting on the magnet is $0.36 \sqrt{2} \ Nm$,then the magnetic moment of the magnet is: (in $J \ T^{-1}$)

Figure shows a small magnetised needle $P$ placed at a point $O$. The arrow shows the direction of its magnetic moment. The other arrows show different positions (and orientations of the magnetic moment) of another identical magnetised needle $Q$.
