JEE Main & Advanced Physics Magnetism Question Bank Magnet and its Properties

  • question_answer
    A magnet of magnetic moment M is situated with its axis along the direction of a magnetic field of strength B. The work done in rotating it by an angle of 180o will be [MP PMT 1985; MP PET 1997]

    A)            \[-MB\]                                  

    B)            \[+MB\]

    C)            0    

    D)            \[+2MB\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       Work done \[MB(\cos {{\theta }_{1}}-\cos {{\theta }_{2}})\]                    \[{{\theta }_{1}}={{0}^{o}}\]and \[{{\theta }_{2}}={{180}^{o}}\]            \[\Rightarrow W=MB\left( \cos 0-\cos 180 \right)=2MB\]
