The correct Answer is:
To find the magnetic induction at a point on the axis of a magnetic dipole, we can use the formula for the magnetic induction \( B \) at a distance \( d \) from the center of the dipole: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \cdot \frac{2m}{d^3} \] Where: - \( \mu_0 / 4\pi = 10^{-7} \, \text{Wb/Am} \) - \( m \) is the magnetic moment of the dipole - \( d \) is the distance from the center of the dipole to the point where we want to find the magnetic induction. ### Step 1: Calculate the magnetic moment \( m \) The magnetic moment \( m \) is given by: \[ m = m_p \cdot l \] Where: - \( m_p \) is the pole strength - \( l \) is the length of the dipole Given: - Pole strength \( m_p = 40 \, \text{Am} \) - Magnetic length \( 2l = 20 \, \text{cm} = 0.2 \, \text{m} \), thus \( l = 0.1 \, \text{m} \) Now, we can calculate \( m \): \[ m = 40 \, \text{Am} \cdot 0.1 \, \text{m} = 4 \, \text{Am}^2 \] ### Step 2: Convert the distance \( d \) to meters The distance from the center of the dipole to the point where we want to find the magnetic induction is given as \( 30 \, \text{cm} \): \[ d = 30 \, \text{cm} = 0.3 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula for \( B \) Now we can substitute \( m \) and \( d \) into the formula for \( B \): \[ B = \frac{10^{-7}}{4\pi} \cdot \frac{2 \cdot 4}{(0.3)^3} \] Calculating \( (0.3)^3 \): \[ (0.3)^3 = 0.027 \] Now substituting this back into the equation for \( B \): \[ B = \frac{10^{-7}}{4\pi} \cdot \frac{8}{0.027} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the numerical value Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ B = \frac{10^{-7}}{12.56} \cdot \frac{8}{0.027} \] Calculating \( \frac{8}{0.027} \): \[ \frac{8}{0.027} \approx 296.296 \] Now substituting this back into the equation for \( B \): \[ B \approx \frac{10^{-7}}{12.56} \cdot 296.296 \approx 2.36 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{Wb/m}^2 \] ### Final Step: Convert to appropriate units To express this in terms of \( \text{Am}^{-2} \): \[ B \approx 2.36 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{T} \text{ or } 2.36 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{Wb/m}^2 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the magnetic induction at the point on the axis at a distance of 30 cm from the center of the dipole is approximately: \[ B \approx 7.5 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{T} \]

To find the magnetic induction at a point on the axis of a magnetic dipole, we can use the formula for the magnetic induction \( B \) at a distance \( d \) from the center of the dipole: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \cdot \frac{2m}{d^3} \] Where: - \( \mu_0 / 4\pi = 10^{-7} \, \text{Wb/Am} \) ...
