    A magnetic needle suspended parallel to a magnetic field requires \[\sqrt{3}\,J\] of work to turn it through \[{{60}^{o}}\]. The torque needed to maintain the needle in this position will be                                      [AIPMT (M) 2012]

    A)  \[2\sqrt{3}\,J\]  

    B)       \[3\,J\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{3}\,J\]   

    D)       \[\frac{3}{2}\,\,J\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] In this case, work done
    \[W=MB(\cos {{\theta }_{1}}-\cos {{\theta }_{2}})\]
    \[=MB(\cos {{0}^{o}}-\cos {{60}^{o}})\]
    \[=MB\left( 1-\frac{1}{2} \right)=\frac{MB}{2}\]
    \[MB\,=\,2\sqrt{3}\,J\]    \[(\because \text{given}\,\,W=\sqrt{3}\,J)\]
                \[\tau \,=\,MB\,\sin \,{{60}^{o}}=\,(2\sqrt{3})\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)J\,=\,3\,J\]
