JEE Main & Advanced Physics Magnetism Tangent Law

Tangent Law

Category : JEE Main & Advanced

When a small magnet is suspended in two uniform magnetic fields \[B\] and \[{{B}_{H}}\]which are at right angles to each other, the magnet comes to rest at an angle \[\theta \]  with respect to \[{{B}_{H}}\].

In equilibrium

\[M{{B}_{H}}\sin \theta \]\[=MB\sin \,({{90}^{o}}-\theta )\]

\[\Rightarrow \] \[B={{B}_{H}}\tan \theta .\] This is called tangent law.
