The magnetic field at a point P on the axis of a short bar magnet of magnetic moment M is B. If another short bar magnet of magnetic moment 2 M is placed on the first magnet such that their axes are perpendicular and their centres coincide. The resultant magnetic field at the point P due to both the magnets is

  1. A 3 B
  2. B \(\sqrt{3} B\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~B}\)
  4. D 2 B

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~B}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic field at P due to first magnet (axial): \( B_1 = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{2M}{r^3} \). Given \( B_1 = B \). Magnetic field at P due to second magnet (equatorial): \( B_2 = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{2M}{r^3} \). Thus, \( B_2 = B \). Since the magnets are perpendicular,…
