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

  • question_answer
    A bar magnet of magnetic moment 104J/T is free to rotate in a horizontal plane. The work done in rotating the magnet slowly from a direction parallel to a horizontal magnetic field of 4×10?5 T to a direction 60° from the field will be [MP PET 1995]

    A)            0.2 J                                         

    B)            2.0 J

    C)            4.18 J                                       

    D)            2 × 102 J

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       Magnetic moment of bar \[M={{10}^{4}}J/T\]                    \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }.\frac{2\sqrt{2}M}{{{d}^{3}}}\]                    Hence work done \[W=\overrightarrow{M}.\overrightarrow{B}\]            \[={{10}^{4}}\times 4\times {{10}^{-5}}\times \cos {{60}^{o}}=0.2\ J\]
