magnetic field due to magnet P
`B_(P)=(mu_(0))/(4pi) (2M)/(x^(3))=B "[" "R=axial point" "]"`
As at a point R magnetic field due to P and Q magnet are perpendicular to each other, ,
`B_(R) Rightarrow` Net magnetic field due to magnet P and is given as Q. `B_(R) Rightarrow sqrt(B_(p)^(2)+B_(Q)^(2))=sqrt(B^(2)+(2B)^(2))=sqrt5B`
