- the axis,
- the equatorial lines (normal bisector) of the magnet.

Solution

Given: Magnetic moment of the bar magnet, M = 0.48 J T−1
Distance, d = 10 cm = 0.1 m
(a) The magnetic field at a distance d from the centre of the magnet on the axis is given by the relation:
B = `μ_0/(4pi) (2M)/d^3`
Where,
μ0 = Permeability of free space = 4π × 10−7 T mA−1
∴ B = `(4pi xx 10^-7 xx 2 xx 0.48)/(4pi xx (0.1)^3)`
= 0.96 × 10−4 T
= 0.96 G
The magnetic field is along the S-N direction.
(b) The magnetic field at a distance of 10 cm (i.e., d = 0.1 m) on the equatorial line of the magnet is given as:
B = `(μ_0 xx M)/(4pi xx d^3)`
= `(4pi xx 10^-7 xx 0.48)/(4pi (0.1)^3)`
= 0.48 G
The magnetic field is along the N-S direction.
