Explanation

(a)

In a non-uniform magnetic field, the force on each of the poles will be different in both magnitude and direction.
Due to difference in magnitude, the dipole experiences a force, Due to differences in direction, the dipole experiences a torque.

A long magnetic needle of length 2L, magnetic moment M and pole strength m units is broken into two pieces at the middle. The magnetic moment and pole strength of each piece will be

Two identical thin bar magnets each of length l and pole strength m are placed at the right angle to each other with the north pole of one touching south pole of the other. The magnetic moment of the system is :

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

When two identical bar magnets of length l and pole strength m are placed at right angles with their poles touching, their magnetic moments form a resultant at an angle of 45° to each magnet. The magnitude of the resultant magnetic moment is √2ml, as confirmed by the vector addition of the two equal magnetic moments ml.

Rate of change of torque  with deflections maximum for a magnet suspended freely in a uniform magnetic field of induction B, when

A magnet of magnetic moment 50i ^A-m2 is placed along the x-axis in a magnetic field B=(0.5i^+3.0j^)T. The torque acting on the magnet is

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

The torque acting on a magnetic dipole moment (m) in a uniform magnetic field (B) is given by τ = m × B. Here, m = 50 Am^2 along x-axis and B = (0.5i + 3j) T. Taking the cross product, we get τ = (50)(3) = 150k N-m.
