A bar magnet of magnetic moment Mis cut into two equal parts along its length. What is the new magnetic moment?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

On cutting magnet along its length its pole strength does not change but it length become half ` ( M = ( m xx 2l )/(2) = (M)/(2)).`
So, its magnetic moment will be halved i.e. M/2.
