How we count: 7× asked means 7 past JEE Main questions in the PrepWiser bank needed that formula, and "last" is the latest year one appeared. ★ marks formulas asked 8 or more times.

Bar magnet and field lines

Bar magnet
2× asked, last 2025
m=qm(2l),∮B⃗⋅dA⃗=0m=q_m(2l),\qquad \oint\vec B\cdot d\vec A=0
qmq_m = pole strength, 2l2l = magnetic length; m⃗\vec m from S to N. No monopoles: field lines close.
Bending a magnet
1× asked, last 2024
m′=2mπ (semicircle)m′=m2 (L, bent at the middle)\begin{aligned}&m'=\frac{2m}\pi\ (\text{semicircle})\\&m'=\frac m{\sqrt2}\ (\text{L, bent at the middle})\end{aligned}
Pole strength unchanged; uses the straight S–N distance. Arc of angle θ\theta: 2msin⁡(θ/2)/θ2m\sin(\theta/2)/\theta.
