A magnetic dipole is placed horizontally with the north pole pointing towards north. The horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is 20 μT. If the neutral point is found at a distance of 20 cm in the plane bisecting the dipole then the magnetic moment of the dipole is
(Assume μ0=4π×10-7 S.I. units)

  1. A 1.2 Am2
  2. B 2.2 Am2
  3. C 1.4 Am2
  4. D 1.6 Am2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1.6 Am2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At neutral point, net magnetic field will be zero, in the given case Earth's magnetic field is getting cancelled by magnetic field due to dipole on bisector position at 20 cm. BH=Bx=20 cm ⇒μ04π×Mx3=BH ⇒10-7×M0.203=20×10-6…
