For a short magnetic dipole, intensity at any point an axial line is same as intensity at same distance on equatorial line. Is it true?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, the statement is not true. Infact, at a given distance from the current of magnet, intensity on axial line is twice the intensity on equatorial line.
