    The work done in turning a magnet of magnetic moment M by an angle of 90° from , the meridian is n times, the corresponding work done to turn it through an angle of 60°, where n is given by:

    A) 1                                             

    B) ¼

    C) 4                                             

    D) 2

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    If dipole be rotated from an initial orientation \[\theta ={{\theta }_{1}}\]to final orientation \[\theta ={{\theta }_{2}},\] the total work required will be \[W=\int\limits_{{{\theta }_{1}}}^{{{\theta }_{2}}}{MB\sin \theta d\theta }\] \[=MB[-cos\theta ]_{{{\theta }_{1}}}^{{{\theta }_{2}}}\] \[W=MB(cos{{\theta }_{1}}-cos{{\theta }_{2}})\] First case, \[{{\theta }_{1}}=0\]and \[{{\theta }_{2}}={{90}^{o}}\] \[\therefore \]     \[{{W}_{1}}=MB(cos\theta -cos{{90}^{o}})=MB\] Second case, \[{{\theta }_{1}}=0\]and \[{{\theta }_{2}}={{60}^{o}}\] \[\therefore \]   \[{{W}_{2}}=MB(cos\theta -cos{{60}^{o}})\] \[=MB\left( 1-\frac{1}{2} \right)=\frac{MB}{2}\] Given,     \[{{W}_{1}}=n{{W}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \]    \[MB=n\frac{MB}{2}\]  \[\Rightarrow \]  \[n=2\]
