Question
A material with \( \mu_r = 500 \) and \( H = 300 \, \text{A m}^{-1} \) has \( B \): (Take \( \mu_0 =
4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T m A}^{-1} \)).
Explanation
**Field due to bar magnet** on axial line is B_axial = (μ₀/4π)·2m/r³, equatorial B_eq = (μ₀/4π)·m/r³, where μ₀/4π = 10⁻⁷ T·m/A, m magnetic moment (A·m²), r distance (m). Axial field twice equatorial at same distance and parallel to moment, equatorial opposite to moment direction. B = μ₀ μ_r H . Given: μ_r = 500 , H = 300 A m⁻¹ , μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ . B = 4π × 10⁻⁷ × 500 × 300 = 0.1884 T ≈ 0.19 T . Substituting values gives 0.19 T, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
