The magnetic field components due to a short magnet (dipole moment: \(m\)) at a point \(P\) are \(B_1,B_2\) along and perpendicular to the magnetic axis:
\(B_1=\dfrac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\dfrac{m}{r^3}(3\cos^2\theta-1)\\ B_2=\dfrac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\dfrac{m}{r^3}(3\sin\theta\cos\theta)\)
where, \(r=OP=\) the distance of \(P\) from the magnet's centre & \(\theta\) is the angle made by \(OP\) with the axis.

Three short identical bar magnets (moment \(m,\) each) are placed at the three vertices \(A,B,C\) of an equilateral triangle \(\triangle ABC,\) with their axes parallel to the base \(BC.\) The magnetic field at the point \(O~(OB=r)\) is:
1. \(\left(\dfrac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\dfrac{m}{r^3}\right)\cdot\dfrac32 \) 2. \(\left(\dfrac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\dfrac{m}{r^3}\right)\cdot\dfrac12 \)
