A bar magnet is cut into two equal parts vertically and half part of bar magnet is kept on the other such that opposite poles align each other.
A bar magnet is cut into two equal parts vertically and half part of bar magnet is kept on the other such that opposite poles align each other. Calculate the magnetic moment of the combination, if m is the magnetic moment of the original magnet.

When bar magnet is cut into two equal parts, then magnetic moment of each part becomes half of the original directed from S to N pole.
∴ Magnetic moment of the combination = \(\frac{m}{2}-\frac{m}{2}\) = 0
∴ The net magnetic moment of the combination is zero.
