How does the magnetic moment and pole strength of the two parts of a magnet change if it is cut into two pieces transverse to its length?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how the magnetic moment and pole strength of a magnet change when it is cut into two pieces transverse to its length, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definitions - **Magnetic Moment (M)**: It is a measure of the strength and orientation of a magnet. For a bar magnet, it is given by the product of the pole strength (p) and the length (l) of the magnet: \( M = p \times l \). - **Pole Strength (p)**: It is a measure of the strength of the magnetic poles. ### Step 2: Consider the Original Magnet - Let the original length of the magnet be \( L \) and the pole strength be \( p \). ...

    (a) What happens if a bar magnet is cut into two pieces : (i) transverse to its length. (ii) along its length?

    The product of the length of the magnet and its pole strength is called the moment of a magnet or Magnetic moment. If 'm' is the pole strength and 2l is the length of the magnet then, the moment of the magnet or Magnetic moment is given by. M =m xx 2l . Also, Magnetic moment is a vector quantity, with its direction from south pole to north pole along its axial line. If a bar magnet of magnetic moment 80 units be cut into two halves of equal lengths the magnetic moment of each half will be
