Two short magnets of equal dipole moments $M$ are fastened perpendicularly at their centres, which lie at the origin. Let the two magnets lie along the $X$-axis and $Y$-axis, respectively. The magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance $R$ from the centre on the $Y$-axis is $\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{M_0}{R^3}$. Assuming $R >> l$ (magnet length), the magnitude of $M$ is

  • A
    $\frac{M_0}{2 \sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{M_0}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{M_0}{\sqrt{5}}$
  • D
    $\frac{M_0}{\sqrt{2}}$

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 $3.6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$. The resultant horizontal magnetic induction at the midpoint of the line joining their centers is $\left(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} = 10^{-7} \text{ N/A}^2\right)$.
