One student cuts a magnet of magnetic moment M, into two identical parts perpendicular to its length. The magnetic moment of each part will be

A M
B M/2
C 2M
D 4M

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) M/2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Original magnetic moment: \( M = mL \) New magnetic moment of each part: \( M' = m(L/2) = M/2 \)

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.

Match List-I with List-II

List-I (Physical Quantity) (According to Rutherford Model)	List-II (Formula)
(A) Total energy of the electron in hydrogen atom	(I) \( \frac{e^2}{8\pi\varepsilon_ R} \)
(B) Kinetic energy of the electron in hydrogen atom	(II) \( \frac{-e^2}{8\pi\varepsilon_ R} \)
(C) Radius of the circular orbit around the nucleus	(III) \( \frac{-e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_ R} \)
(D) Potential energy of the electron in hydrogen atom	(IV) \( \frac{e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_ m v^2} \)
