Magnetism Question 225

Question: A bar magnet of magnetic moment $ 4.0,A-m^{2} $ is free to rotate about a vertical axis through its center. The magnet is released from rest from east-west position. Kinetic energy of the magnet in north-south position will be $ (H=25\mu T) $

Options:

A) $ {{10}^{-2}}J $

B) $ {{10}^{-4}}J $

C) $ {{10}^{-6}}J $

D) 0

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Loss in P.E. = gain in K.E.
$ \

Therefore ,,,E _{k}=U _{i}-U _{j}=-MB,\cos ,90^{o}-(-MB,cos,0^{o}) $

$ =4\times 25\times {{10}^{-6}}={{10}^{-4}}J $
