Following figures show the arrangement of bar magnets in different configurations. Each magnet has magnetic dipole m. Which configuration has highest net magnetic dipole moment?

Solution

a Mnet=m2+m2+2mmcos90o=2 m

b Mnet=m-m=0


c Mnet=m2+m2+2 mmcos30o=m2+3
d Mnet=m2+m2+2 mmcos60o=3 m
is configuration C θ in least so Mnet is maximum.
