A short bar magnet placed with its axis at 30 with an external field of 800 Gauss, experiences a torque of 0.016 N m. The work done in moving it from most stable to most unstable position is 10-3 J. The value of is .

Answer

64

Solution

B = 800 G = 0.08 T

Torque: = mB 0.016 = m 0.08 30

m = 0.4 A m2

Most stable: = 0 (U = -mB); most unstable: = 180 (U = +mB)

W = Uf - Ui = 2mB = 2 0.4 0.08 = 0.064 J = 64 10-3 J

= 64

Answer: 64
