    0.8 J work is done in rotating a magnet by \[\text{6}{{\text{0}}^{\text{o}}}\text{,}\] placed parallel to a uniform magnetic field. How much work is done in rotating it \[\text{3}{{\text{0}}^{\text{o}}}\] further?

    A)  \[0.8\times {{10}^{7}}\,\text{erg}\]

    B)         \[0.8\,erg\]

    C)  \[8\,J\]               

    D)         \[0.4\,J\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Work done, \[W=MB(cos{{\theta }_{1}}-cos{{\theta }_{2}}).\] When the magnet is rotated from \[{{0}^{o}}\] to\[{{60}^{o}},\] then work done is 0.8 J \[0.8=MB(cos{{0}^{o}}-cos{{60}^{o}})\] \[=\frac{MB}{2}\]                 \[MB=0.8\times 2=1.6\,N-m\] In order to rotate the magnet through an angle of \[{{30}^{o}},\] i.e., from \[{{60}^{o}}\] to\[{{90}^{o}},\] the work done is \[W=MB(\cos {{60}^{o}}-\cos {{90}^{o}})\]                 \[=MB\left( \frac{1}{2}-0 \right)=\frac{MB}{2}\]                 \[W=\frac{1.6}{2}=0.8\,J\] \[=0.8\times {{10}^{7}}\,erg\]
