Two short bar magnets of length 1 cm each have magnetic moments `1.20 Am^(2) and 1.00 Am^(2)` respectively. They are placed on a horizontal table parallel to each other with their N poles pointing towards the South. They have a common magnetic equator and are separated by a distance of 20.0 cm. The value of the resultant horizontal magnetic induction at the mid - point O of the line joining their centres is close to (Horizontal component of earths magnetic induction is `3.6 xx 10^(-5) Wb//m^(2))`

Options

A. `3.6xx10^(-5)Wb//m^(2)`
B. `2.56xx10^(-4)Wb//m^(2)`
C. `3.50xx10^(-4)Wb//m^(2)`
D. `5.80xx10^(-4)Wb//m^(2)`

Answer

2

Explanation

`B_("net")=B_(1)+B_(2)+B_(H)`
`B_("net")mu_(0)/(4pi)((M_(1)+M_(2)))/r^(3)+B_(H)`
`=(10^(-7)(1.2+1))/(0.1)^(3)+3.6xx10^(-5)=2.56xx10^(-4) wb//m^(2)`
