Two magnetic dipoles $X$ and $Y$ are placed at a separation $d$,with their axes perpendicular to each other. The dipole moment of $Y$ is twice that of $X$. $A$ particle of charge $q$ is passing through their mid-point $P$,at an angle $\theta = 45^\circ$ with the horizontal line as shown in the figure. What would be the magnitude of the force on the particle at that instant? ($d$ is much larger than the dimensions of the dipole)

  • A
    $\left( {\frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}} \right)\frac{M}{{{{\left( {d/2} \right)}^3}}} \times {q^v}$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $\left( {\frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}} \right)\frac{2M}{{{{\left( {d/2} \right)}^3}}} \times {q^v}$
  • D
    $\sqrt 2 \left( {\frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}} \right)\frac{M}{{{{\left( {d/2} \right)}^3}}} \times {q^v}$

Two identical bar magnets of magnetic moment $M$ each,are placed along $X$ and $Y$-axes,respectively at a distance $d$ from the origin (as shown in the figure). The origin lies on the perpendicular bisector of the magnet placed on the $X$-axis and on the magnetic axis of the magnet placed on the $Y$-axis. If the magnitude of the total magnetic field at the origin is $B = \alpha \left[ \frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{M}{d^3} \right]$,then the value of the constant $\alpha$ will be (given $d >> l$,where $l$ is the length of the bar magnets and the direction of $N$ to $S$ in the magnets is opposite with respect to each other).
