Q.
Two identical small bar magnets each of dipole moment are placed at a center to center separation of 10 cm, with their axes perpendicular to each other as shown in figure. The value of magnetic field at the point P midway between the magnets is . The value of is ________. ()

Correct answer: 12
Solution
P is at distance from each magnet's centre.
From the axial magnet (P on its axis): .
From the equatorial magnet (P on its equator): .
The two field vectors are mutually perpendicular (one along the axial magnet's axis, the other antiparallel to the equatorial magnet's dipole). So:
.
Substituting , :
.
.
