QAIPM-2011-Ph-1821: NEET 2011 Physics - Class 12 AIPM-2011-Ph-1821 Solution: A short bar magnet of magnetic moment \(0.4\ {J T}^{-1}\) is…
A short bar magnet of magnetic moment is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.16 T. The magnet is in stable equilibrium when the potential energy is
Multiple Choice Options
- A 0.064 J
- B J
- C zero
- D J
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
When a bar magnet of magnetic moment is placed in a uniform magnetic field , its potential energy is
U = _ M _ . B _ = M B cos _ _
For stable equilibrium, _ = 0 o
U = �MB = � (0.4) (0.16) = � 0.064 J
