A bar magnet with pole strength m and magnetic dipole moment p is cut into two identical pieces along its length. Then for each of the two pieces |
pole strength and dipole moment are m and p, respectively pole strength and dipole moment are m/2 and p/2, respectively pole strength is m/2 and dipole moment is p pole strength is m and dipole moment is p/2 |
pole strength and dipole moment are m/2 and p/2, respectively |
The correct answer is Option (2) → pole strength and dipole moment are m/2 and p/2, respectively When a bar magnet is cut along its length: - Pole strength of each piece becomes half: $m/2$ - Magnetic dipole moment, being $p = m \cdot 2l$, also becomes half: $p/2$ Pole strength = m/2, Dipole moment = p/2 |
