Several equipotential surfaces of a magnetic scalar potential are depicted in the figure. Determine the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point within this region.


Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The relationship between the magnetic field and the magnetic scalar potential is given by , where is the perpendicular distance between the equipotential surfaces.
From the given figure, the distance between two adjacent equipotential lines along the x-axis is:
The equipotential lines are inclined at an angle of with the x-axis. The perpendicular distance between the adjacent equipotential lines is:
The difference in magnetic scalar potential between these adjacent lines is:
The magnitude of the magnetic field is:
