Two magnets of equal mass are joined at right angles to each other as shown. Magnet $1$ has a magnetic moment $3$ times that of magnet $2$. This arrangement is pivoted so that it is free to rotate in the horizontal plane. In equilibrium,what angle will magnet $1$ subtend with the magnetic meridian?

  • A
    $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(1)$
  • D
    $0^{\circ}$

Two short bar magnets of length $1 \ cm$ each have magnetic moments $1.20 \ Am^2$ and $1.00 \ Am^2$ respectively. They are placed on a horizontal table parallel to each other with their $N$ poles pointing towards the South. They have a common magnetic equator and are separated by a distance of $20.0 \ cm$. The value of the resultant horizontal magnetic induction at the mid-point $O$ of the line joining their centres is close to (Horizontal component of Earth's magnetic induction is $3.6 \times 10^{-5} \ Wb/m^2$)
