    A short bar magnet of magnetic moment \[0.4J\,{{T}^{-1}}\] is place in a uniform magnetic field of 0.16 T. The magnet is stable equilibrium when the potential energy is                                                        [AIPMT (M) 2011]

    A)  \[-\,0.64\,J\]     

    B)       zero

    C)  \[-\text{ }0.082\,J\]       

    D)       \[0.064\text{ }J\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] We know that \[U=-MB\cos \theta \]
    For stable equilibrium \[\theta ={{0}^{o}}\]
    So,       \[U=-MB\]
    \[=-(0.4)(0.16)=-0.064\,J\]
