JEE Main 2025 (Online) 28th January Evening Shift Physics - Magnetic Properties of Matter Question 1 English

A bar magnet has total length 2l=202 l=20 units and the field point P is at a distance d=10\mathrm{d}=10 units from the centre of the magnet. If the relative uncertainty of length measurement is 1%1 \% , then uncertainty of the magnetic field at point P is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 10%
  • B 5%
  • C 3%
  • D 4%

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Without considering uncentainity in ℓ\ell .

B=μ04πmr3B=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{m}{r^3}

B∝1r3\mathrm{B} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{r}^3}

ΔB B=3×(Δrr)\frac{\Delta \mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{~B}}=3 \times\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{r}}\right)

%\% uncertainity in B=3%\mathrm{B}=3 \%

Method-2 :

With considering uncentainity in ℓ\ell .

amp;B∝1r3amp;Δ B B=Δℓℓ+3×(Δrr)=1+3×1=4%\begin{aligned}& \mathrm{B} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{r}^3} \\& \frac{\Delta \mathrm{~B}}{\mathrm{~B}}=\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}+3 \times\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{r}}\right)=1+3 \times 1=4 \%\end{aligned}

%\% uncertainity in B=4%B=4 \%
