    0.8 J work is done in rotating a magnet by \[{{60}^{o}}\], placed parallel to a uniform magnetic field. How much work is done in rotating it \[{{30}^{o}}\]further?

    A)  \[0.8\times {{10}^{7}}\,erg\]

    B)  0.8 erg

    C)  8J

    D)  0.4 J

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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