The magnetic field due to a short bar magnet at an axial point at a distance 'r' from its centre is 'B'. If this axis is moved towards the equator of the magnet along a circular path of radius 'r' then the magnetic field 'B' will
  1. not Change.
  2. go on increasing.
  3. increase from zero to infinity.
  4. go on decreasing.

Solution

Magnetic field due to a bar magnet on the axial point: - Magnetic field due to a bar magnet on the axial point at a distance $r$ from the centre of magnet is given as, $\Rightarrow B=\frac{\mu_o}{4 \pi} \frac{2 M r}{\left(r^2-l^2\right)^2}$ If $r \gg$ | $\Rightarrow B=\frac{\mu_o}{4 \pi} \frac{2 M}{r^3}$
