    both torque and net force are present
  • B
    torque is present but no net force
  • C
    both torque and net force are absent
  • D

Due to a small magnet,the magnetic intensity at a distance $x$ in the end-on (axial) position is $9 \ G$. What will be the intensity at a distance $\frac{x}{2}$ in the broadside-on (equatorial) position (in $G$)?

$A$ 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?

$A$ bar magnet,when placed at an angle of $30^o$ to the direction of a magnetic field of induction $5 \times 10^{-2} \,T$,experiences a torque of $25 \times 10^{-6} \,N-m$. If the length of the magnet is $5 \,cm$,what is its pole strength?

$A$ short bar magnet placed with its axis at $30^{\circ}$ with a uniform external magnetic field of $0.25 \ T$ experiences a torque of magnitude $4.5 \times 10^{-2} \ J$. The magnitude of the magnetic moment of the magnet will be . . . . . . $J \ T^{-1}$.
