Vedclass · Answer

(B) When a bar magnet is placed with its north pole pointing towards the geographic north,the magnetic field of the magnet and the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field $(B_H)$ oppose each other along the equatorial line (the east-west line passing through the centre of the magnet).At the neutral point,the magnetic field due to the magnet $(B_{mag})$ is equal and opposite to the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field $(B_H)$.Since the field lines of the magnet emerge from the north pole and enter the south pole,on the equatorial line,the field points from north to south (opposite to the Earth's $B_H$).Thus,the neutral points are obtained on the east-west line passing through the centre of the magnet.

$A$ magnet is placed horizontally on the ground with its north pole pointing towards the geographic north pole of the Earth. Where is the neutral point obtained?
