(N/A) The magnetic field $B$ at a point on the equatorial line of a bar magnet of magnetic dipole moment $M$ and length $2l$ at a distance $r$ from its center is given by:
$B = \frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \frac{M}{(r^{2} + l^{2})^{3/2}}$
For a short bar magnet where $r \gg l$,the expression simplifies to:
$B = \frac{\mu_{0} M}{4 \pi r^{3}}$
Where:
$\mu_{0} = \text{permeability of free space}$
$M = \text{magnetic dipole moment}$
$r = \text{perpendicular distance from the center of the magnet}$

Two short magnets $AB$ and $CD$ are in the $X-Y$ plane and are parallel to the $X$-axis. The coordinates of their centres are $(0,2)$ and $(2,0)$ respectively. The line joining the north-south poles of $CD$ is opposite to that of $AB$ and lies along the positive $X$-axis. The resultant magnetic field induction due to $AB$ and $CD$ at a point $P(2,2)$ is $100 \times 10^{-7} \ T$. When the poles of the magnet $CD$ are reversed,the resultant field induction is $50 \times 10^{-7} \ T$. The values of the magnetic moments of $AB$ and $CD$ (in $Am^2$) are:
