Q80 / 90 · JEE Main 2016 (09 Apr Online) · Physics

A magnetic dipole is acted upon by two magnetic fields which are inclined to each other at an angle of 75o. One of the fields has a magnitude of 15 mT. The dipole attains stable equilibrium at an angle of 30o with this field. The magnitude of the other field (in mT) is close to

  • A
    1
  • Correct answer
    B
    11
  • C
    36
  • D
    1060

Solution

θ 1 +θ= 75 o

M B 1 sin θ 1 =M B 2 sinθ

⇒ B 1 2 = 15 2

⇒ B 1 = 15 2 ≈11 mT

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
