The pole strength of a bar magnet is 100 units. It is cut into two pieces along a line parallel to its equator in such a way that the length of one piece is half the length of the other. What will be the ratio of the pole strengths of the two pieces?

Answer»

`1 : 1`
`1 : 2`
`1 : 3`
`5 : 2`

SOLUTION :The pole strength of the magnet is not affected by cutting a magnet ALONG a LINE parallel to the equator.
`THEREFORE` The ratio of the pole strengths of the TWO pieces will be 1 : 1. However, the magnetic moments of the two pieces will be different.
