Important Questions on Magnetism



Two identical bar magnets and are placed in two identical uniform magnetic fields as shown in Figure. Justify that both the magnets are in equilibrium. Which one of these is in stable equilibrium? Give reasons for your answer.

A small magnet of magnetic moment , is placed at a distance from the origin with its axis parallel to -axis as shown in Figure. A small coil, of one turn, is
placed on the -axis, at the same distance from the origin, with the axis of the coil coinciding with -axis. For what value of current in the coil does a small magnetic needle, kept at origin, remains undeflected? What is the direction of current in the coil?

Two identical short magnets and of magnetic moments each are placed at a distance with their axes perpendicular to each other, as shown in Figure. Find the magnetic field at a point midway between the two dipoles.

Two magnets of magnetic moments and are joined to form a cross. The combination is suspended in a uniform magnetic field . The magnetic moment now makes an angle with the field direction. Find the value of angle .
