A rectangular magnet of magnetic moment M is cut into two piece of same length, the magnetic moment of each piece will be______________?

Correct answer: B. M/2

  • A. M
  • B. M/2
  • C. 2 M
  • D. M/4

Explanation

Magnetic moment equals pole strength multiplied by magnetic length. Cutting the magnet into two equal pieces makes the pole strength or effective length half, so each piece has moment M/2.
