Q82 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (29 Jan Shift 1) · Physics

The magnetic potential due to a magnetic dipole at a point on its axis situated at a distance of 20 cm from its center is 1.5×10-5 T m. The magnetic moment of the dipole is _______ A m2. (Given : μ04π=10-7 T m A-1)

Correct answer: 6

Solution

The formula to calculate the magnetic potential due to a magnetic dipole can be written as

V=μ04πMr2   ...1

Substitute the values of the known parameters into equation (1) and solve to calculate the required magnetic moment of the dipole.

1.5×10-5=10-7×M20×10-22⇒M=1.5×10-5×20×20×10-410-7⇒M=1.5×4=6 A m2

Hence, the correct answer is 6.
