A magnetic dipole of moment

m

is in a uniform magnetic field of induction

B

. If it is in stable equilibrium position in the field, the torque acting on it and potential energy are respectivley

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

zero,

-mB

Option D (zero,

-mB

) is correct because in stable equilibrium, the angle between the magnetic moment and the magnetic field is 0, resulting in zero torque and potential energy of

-mB

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

\mu_{\mathrm{d}}, \mu_{\mathrm{p}}

and

\mu_{\mathrm{f}}

respectively, then :- Which of the following is most suitable for the core of electromagnets
