A bar magnet of magnetic moment \(M_1\) is axially cut into two equal parts. If these two pieces are arranged perpendicular to each other in the shape of L, the resultant magnetic moment becomes \(M_2\), then the value of \(\frac{ M _1}{ M _2}\) is :

  1. A \(\sqrt{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  3. C 1
  4. D \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M' = \frac{M_1}{2}\) \(M_2 = \sqrt{(M')^2 + (M')^2} = \sqrt{2 (M')^2} = M' \sqrt{2}\) \(M_2 = \frac{M_1}{2} \sqrt{2} = \frac{M_1}{\sqrt{2}}\) \(\frac{M_1}{M_2} = \frac{M_1}{M_1/\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}\)
