JEE MAIN - Physics (2024 - 4th April Evening Shift - No. 6)

The magnetic moment of a bar magnet is $$0.5 \mathrm{~Am}^2$$. It is suspended in a uniform magnetic field of $$8 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~T}$$. The work done in rotating it from its most stable to most unstable position is:
$$4 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~J}$$
$$16 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~J}$$
$$8 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~J}$$
Zero

Explanation

$$\begin{aligned} W & =\int_0^{180} d \tau \cdot d \theta \\ & =m B(\cos 0-\cos 180) \\ & =0.5 \times 8 \times 10^{-2}(2) \\ & =8 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~J} \end{aligned} $$
