A magnet of magnetic moment

M

is freely suspended in a uniform magnetic field strength B. The work done is deflecting the magnet through an angle

\theta

is given by

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

\mathrm{MB}(1-\cos \theta)

Option D (

\mathrm{MB}(1-\cos \theta)

) is correct because the work done in deflecting a magnet in a magnetic field is given by the change in potential energy, which is

\mathrm{MB}(1-\cos \theta)

.

Curie temperature is the one above which A vibration magnetometer consists of two identical bar magnets placed one over the other such that they are perpendicular and bisect each other. The time period of oscillation in a horizontal magnetic field is

{2^{5/4}}

s. One of the magnets is removed and if the other magnet oscillates in the same field , then the time period in second is The relative permeability of a substance

X

is slightly less than unity and that of substance

Y

is slightly more than unity, then A bar magnet is equivalent to If the magnetic dipole moment of an atom of diamagnetic material, paramagnetic material and ferromagnetic material are denoted by
