Two magnets of equal mass are joined at 90 ° each other as shown in figure. Magnet N 1 S 1 has a magnetic moment 3 times that of N 2 S 2 . The arrangement is pivoted so that it is free to rotate in horizontal plane. When in equilibrium, what angle should N 1 S 1 make with magnetic meridian?
Options
- A75 °
- B60 °
- C30 °
- D45 °
Correct answer
C. 30 °
Step-by-step solution
In equilibrium, the resultant magnetic moment will be along magnetic meridian. Let N 1 S 1 make ∠ θ with resultant t a n θ = M 2 M 1 = M 3 M = 1 3 ∴ θ = 30 °
