    The work done in turning a magnet of magnetic moment M by an angle of \[{{90}^{o}}\] from the meridian is n times the corresponding work done to turn it through an angle of \[{{60}^{o}}\]

    A)  \[n=\frac{1}{2}\]             

    B)  \[n=2\]

    C)  \[n=\frac{1}{4}\]

    D)  \[n=1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Work done \[W=MB\,(\cos {{\theta }_{1}}-\cos {{\theta }_{2}})\] In first case, \[{{\theta }_{1}}=0\] and \[{{\theta }_{1}}={{90}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{W}_{1}}=MB\,(\cos \,{{0}^{o}}-\cos {{90}^{o}})=MB\] In second case \[{{W}_{2}}=MB\,(\cos {{0}^{o}}-\cos \,{{60}^{o}})\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{W}_{2}}=MB\,(\cos \,{{0}^{o}}-\cos \,{{60}^{o}})\]                 \[{{W}_{2}}=MB\left( 1-\frac{1}{2} \right)=\frac{MB}{2}\] Given, \[{{W}_{1}}=n{{W}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[MB=n\frac{MB}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[n=2\]
