Question

A magnet is in stable equilibrium in a uniform magnetic field. It is deflected by 60o and the workdone is equal to W. In deflecting the magnet further by 30o, Work done is:


  1. W32
  2. W4
  3. W2
  4. W

A
W2
B
W
C
W4
D
W32
Solution
Verified by Toppr

U=m.B
U1=mB
U2=mBcos60o
=mB2
U3=mBcos90o
=0
W=U2U1
=mB2
W1=U3U2
=mB2
W1=W
