The magnitude of magnetic fields at a distacne 'r' from the centre of a short bar magnet, in longitudinal position to transverse position is in the ratio
  1. 4:1
  2. 2:1
  3. 1:4
  4. 1:2

Solution

For longitudinal positions magnetic field will be $B_{1} \alpha \frac{2 M}{d^{3}}$ For transverse positions magnetic field will be $B_{2} \alpha \frac{M}{d^{3}}$ $\therefore \frac{B_{1}}{B_{2}}=2: 1$
