If F1 and F2 are the strengths of magnetic fields at same distance ‘d' , from the centre of a bar magnet, on axial and equatorial lines respectively, show that F1/F2 =2+7l^2/d^2 , where ‘l’ is the magnetic length.

We know that the magnetic field at a distance d from centre on the axis of a magnet of length 2l and magnetic moment M is given by:-
B=

μ
o




(d

)

For P

, d

=10cm
for P

⟹l=5cm
Hence,magnetic length = 2l=10cm
