    A magnet is parallel to a uniform magnetic field. If it is rotated by \[60{}^\circ \], the work done is 0.8 J. How much work is done in moving it \[30{}^\circ \] further?

    A)  \[\text{0}\text{.8 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{7}}}\,\text{erg}\]                   

    B)  4.0 J

    C)  8 J                         

    D)         0.8 erg

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[W=MB(\cos {{\theta }_{1}}-\cos {{\theta }_{2}})\] When the magnet is rotated from \[{{0}^{o}}\] to\[{{60}^{o}}\], then work done is\[0.8\,\,J\].                 \[0.8=MB(\cos {{0}^{o}}-\cos {{60}^{o}})=\frac{MB}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[MB=1.6\,\,N-m\] In order to rotate the magnet through an angle of\[{{30}^{o}}\],\[ie,\] from\[{{60}^{o}}\]to\[{{90}^{o}}\], the work done is       \[W=MB(\cos {{60}^{o}}-\cos {{90}^{o}})=MB\left( \frac{1}{2}-0 \right)\]            \[=\frac{MB}{2}=\frac{1.6}{2}=0.8\,\,J=0.8\times {{10}^{7}}erg\]
