To show that the magnetic field at a point due to a magnetic dipole is perpendicular to the magnetic axis when the line joining the point with the center of the dipole makes an angle of \( \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{2}) \) with the magnetic axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the angle Let \( \theta \) be the angle between the line joining the point to the center of the dipole and the magnetic axis. Given that \( \theta = \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{2}) \), we can express this in terms of tangent: \[ \tan \theta = \sqrt{2} \] ...
