Assertion : Two short magnets are placed...

Assertion : Two short magnets are placed on a cork which floats on water. The magnets are placed such that the axis of one produced bisects the axis of other at right angles. Then the cork has neither translational nor rotational Motion

Reason : Net force on the cork is zero.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
We observe that both the magnets exert equal and opposite force/torque on each other. Hence, net force/torque on cork will be zero.

A short bar magnet placed in a horizontal plane has its axis aligned along the magnetic north south direction. Null points are found on the axis of the magnet at 14cm from the centre of the magnet. The earth's magnetic field at the plane is 0*36G and the angle of dip is zero. What is the total magnetic field on the normal bisector of the magnet at the same distance as the null points (i.e. 14 cm) from the centre of the magnet? (At null points, field due to a magnet is equal and apposite to the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field).
