Two similar magnetic poles having pole strengths in the ratio 1 : 4 are placed 6 cm apart. The distance from a smaller pole in strength where net magnetic field is zero will be :

  1. A 1.5 cm
  2. B 4 cm
  3. C 3 cm
  4. D 2 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 2 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(B_1 = B_2\) \(\frac{m_1}{x^2} = \frac{m_2}{(r-x)^2}\) \(\frac{1}{x^2} = \frac{4}{(6-x)^2}\) \(\frac{1}{x} = \frac{2}{6-x}\) \(6-x = 2x\) \(3x = 6\) \(x = 2 \text{ cm}\)
