A bar magnet with \( m = 1.8 \, \text{A m}^2 \) produces a field at \( 0.6 \, \text{m} \) on its equatorial line. What i
**Hysteresis loop** plots B versus H for ferromagnetic material, retentivity (remanence) is residual B at H=0 after saturation, coercivity is reverse H needed to reduce B to zero. Hard ferromagnets have high retentivity and coercivity, retaining strong magnetism after external field removed, suitable for permanent magnets. B = (μ₀/4π) (m/r³) . Given: m = 1.8 A m² , r = 0.6 m , (μ₀/4π) = 10⁻⁷ . B = 10⁻⁷ × (1.8/(0.6)³) = 10⁻⁷ × (1.8/0.216) ≈ 8.333 × 10⁻⁷ T ≈ 8.33 × 10⁻⁷ T . Substituting values gives 8.33 × 10⁻⁷ T, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field
