NEET Physics Bar Magnet MCQ Question
A bar magnet of length 2l and magnetic moment m is placed along the x-axis. If the magnetic field at a point on the axis of the magnet at a large distance d (where d >> l) from the center of the magnet is B, what is the relation between B and the magnetic moment m?
B ∝ m/d^3
B ∝ m/d^2
B ∝ m^2/d^3
B ∝ m^2/d^2
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The magnetic field due to a bar magnet at large distances along its axis is proportional to the magnetic moment m divided by the cube of the distance, as derived from the electrostatic analog. Hence, B ∝ m/d^3.
