A bar magnet is cut into two equal parts transversely. The pole strength of each piece becomes
A. Same
B. Zero
C. Half
D. Double
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Pole strength is a property of the magnet; when cut transversely, each piece still has both north and south poles with same pole strength as original. Magnetic moment becomes half because length halves. Each is a complete magnet.
Explanation:
Range R = u²sin(2θ)/g. sin(2θ) maximum (=1) when 2θ=90° ⇒ θ=45°. Standard result for level ground projection. Memory aid: 'Max range at 45°; max height at 90°'. Projectile motion fact frequently tested in competitive exams.
