Question : 14 of 25
Marks: +1, -0
If the bar magnet in the previous problem is turned around by 180°, where will the new null points be located?
Solution:  
When the bar magnet is turned through 180°, neutral points would lie on equatorial line, so that
B2B_2 = μ04πMd23\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{M}{d_2^3} = BHB_H ... (i)
In the previous question,
B1B_1 = μ04π2Md13\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{2M}{d_1^3} = BHB_H ... (ii)
From (i) and (ii) μ04πMd23\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{M}{d_2^3} = μ04π2Md13\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{2M}{d_1^3}
d23d_2^3 = d132\frac{d_1^3}{2} = (14)32\frac{(14)^3}{2} or d2d_2 = 1421/3\frac{14}{2^{1/3}} = 11.1 cm
