Q.

A bar magnet has total length 2l=20 units and the field point P is at a distance d = 10 units from the centre of the magnet. If the relative uncertainty of length measurement is 1%, then uncertainty of the magnetic field at point P is:          [2025]

1 10%  
2 4%  
3 3%  
4 5%

Magnetic field at P, B=μ04πm(2l)d3, where m is the pole strength

 (BB×100)=(ll)×100+3|dd|×100

                                     = 1% + 3% = 4%
