Question:

Two identical bar magnets are fixed with their centres at a distance $d$ apart. $A$ stationary charge $Q$ is placed at $P$ in between the gap of the two magnets at a distance $D$ from the centre $O$ as shown in the figure. The force on the charge $Q$ is

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Magnetic field due to bar magnets exerts force on moving charges only. Since the charge is at rest, zero force acts on it.

Magnetic Force

Magnetic force is the attraction or repulsion force that results from the motion of electrically charged particles. The magnets are attracted or repellent to one another due to this force. A compass, a motor, the magnets that hold the refrigerator door, train tracks, and modern roller coasters are all examples of magnetic power.

A magnetic field is generated by all moving charges, and the charges that pass through its regions feel a force. Depending on whether the force is attractive or repulsive, it may be positive or negative. The magnetism force is determined by the object's charge, velocity, and magnetic field.

The magnitude of the magnetic force depends on how much charge is in how much motion in each of the objects and how far apart they are.

Mathematically, we can write magnetic force as:

A charge will feel a force as it passes through a magnetic field at an angle. This force is given by the equation:

A force acts on the motion of charge q traveling with velocity v in a Magnetism field, and this force is:

  • Perpendicular to both v and B.
  • Perpendicular to sinθ (where θ is the angle between v and B).
  • Proportional to the charge q.
  • Proportional to the velocity v.
