Q18 / 49 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Magnetic Properties of Matter

A magnetic dipole is placed in a uniform magnetic field of intensity B, oriented along the direction of the field. If the magnetic dipole moment is M, then the maximum work an external agent can perform in rotating the dipole will be

  • A
    12MB
  • B
    4MB
  • Correct answer
    C
    2MB
  • D
    MB

Solution

The maximum work done by an external agent is

W=U180°-U0°

W=MB--MB

W=2MB

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