A short bar magnet produces a magnetic induction of 4 x 10^-5 T at an axial point 10 cm from its center. It's dipole moment is (µ0= 4 x 10^-7 Wb / AM):

Correct answer: A. 0.2 Am2

  • A. 0.2 Am2
  • B. 2 x 10^-5 Am2
  • C. 2 Am2
  • D. None of these

Explanation

At an axial point B = μ₀ / 4π · 2M / r³∴ 4 × 10⁻⁵ = 10⁻⁷ × 2M / 0.001∴ M = 4 × 10⁻⁵ × 0.001 / 2 × 10⁻⁷= 0.2 A·m²

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
