Q.

Given below are two statements.
Statement I : The magnetic field of circular current loop at very far away point on the axial line varies with distance as like that of a magnetic dipole.
Statement II : The magnetic field due to magnetic dipole varies inversely with the square of the distance from the centre on the axial line.
In light of above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Statement I is correct.
Magnetic field on the axis at a distance x from the centre of a circular current carrying loop is given by,
B=μ0IR22R2+x232
At a very far away point on the axial line means x≫R.
Then, B=μ022R2+x232μ022x232=2μ0πR24πx3=2μ0M4πx3 Where, magnetic Moment is, M=I(πR2).
Statement II is incorrect.
The magnetic field due to magnetic dipole varies inversely with the cube of the distance from the centre on the axial line.
B=μ02πMx3B1x3
