The ratio of the magnitudes of the equatorial and axial fields due to a bar magnet of length \(5.0~\text{cm}\) at a distance of \(50~\text{cm}\) from its mid-point is:
(Given, the magnetic moment of the bar magnet is \(0.40~\text{Am}^{2}.\))

The figure shows a small magnetized needle P placed at a point O. The arrow shows the direction of its magnetic moment. The other arrows show different positions (and orientations of the magnetic moment) of another identical magnetized needle Q. Then:


 

1. In PQ1 and PQ2 configuration, the system is not in equilibrium.
2. In PQ3 and PQ6 configuration, the system is unstable.
3. In PQ5 and PQ4 configuration, the system is stable.
4. PQ5 configuration corresponds to the lowest potential energy among all the configurations shown.
