Question

A magnet is placed at the north pole towards the south pole of the
earth Predict the position of the neutral points

Anshu Agrawal · Accepted Answer

Dear student,

The point
where the magnetic field induction due to a bar magnet is equal in
magnitude and opposite in direction to the horizontal component of
the earth’s magnetic field induction is called a neutral
point When the north pole of a bar magnet points towards the
geographical north pole of the earth, the two neutral points lie on
the equatorial line of the bar magnet such that they are
equidistant from the centre of the bar magnet

When the south pole of a bar magnet points towards the geographical
north pole of the earth, the two neutral points lie on the axis of
the bar magnet such that two points are equidistant from the centre
of the bar magnet By locating the neutral points for a given bar
magnet, its magnetic moment and pole strength can be
calculated
