    A bar magnet of magnetic moment 1.5 J T-1 lies aligned with the direction of a uniform magnetic field of 0.22 T.
    (a) What is the amount of work required by an external torque to turn the magnet so as to align its magnetic moment: (a) normal to the field direction, (a) opposite to the field direction?
    (b) What is the torque on the magnet in cases (i) and (ii)?
    Ans : null (a) Magnetic moment, M = 1.5 J T-1

    Magnetic field strength, B = 0.22 T
    (a) Initial angle between the axis and the magnetic field, θ1 = 0°

    Final angle between the axis and the magnetic field, θ2 = 90°

    The work required to make the magnetic moment normal to the direction of magnetic field is given as:


    (a) Initial angle between the axis and the magnetic field, θ1 = 0°

    Final angle between the axis and the magnetic field, θ2 = 180°

    The work required to make the magnetic moment opposite to the direction of magnetic field is given as:


    (b) For case (i):

    ∴Torque,



    For case (ii):

    ∴Torque,
