    The work done in turning a magnet of magnetic moment M by an angle of 900 from the meridian is n times the corresponding work done to turn it through an angle of\[60{}^\circ \]

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