$A$ donut-shaped permanent magnet (magnetization parallel to the axis) can slide frictionlessly on a vertical rod. Treat the magnets as dipoles with mass $m_d$ and dipole moment $M$. When we put two back-to-back magnets on the rod,the upper one will float. At what height $z$ does it float?

  • A
    ${\left[ {\frac{{2{\mu _0}{M^2}}}{{3\pi {m_d}g}}} \right]^{1/4}}$
  • B
    ${\left[ {\frac{{6{\mu _0}{M^2}}}{{\pi {m_d}g}}} \right]^{1/4}}$
  • C
    ${\left[ {\frac{{3{\mu _0}{M^2}}}{{2\pi {m_d}g}}} \right]^{1/4}}$
  • D
    ${\left[ {\frac{{{\mu _0}{M^2}}}{{6\pi {m_d}g}}} \right]^{1/4}}$

Two identical bar magnets of magnetic moment $M$ each, are placed along $X$ and $Y$-axes, respectively at a distance $d$ from the origin (as shown in the figure). The origin lies on the perpendicular bisector of the magnet placed on the $X$-axis and on the magnetic axis of the magnet placed on the $Y$-axis. If the magnitude of the total magnetic field at the origin is $B = \alpha \left[ \frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{M}{d^3} \right]$, then the value of the constant $\alpha$ will be (given $d >> l$, where $l$ is the length of the bar magnets and the direction of $N$ to $S$ in the magnets is opposite with respect to each other).
