Magnetic field due to currentHard
Question
A magnetic needle suspended parallel to a magnetic field requires √3 J of work to turn it through 60. The torque needed to maintain the needle in this position will be
Options
A.

B.2√3 J
C.3 J
D.√3 J
Solution
Work done Uf - Ui = - MBcos60o - (-MBcos0o)
= - MB
MB = 2√3
= MB sin 60o =
= - MB

MB = 2√3
= MB sin 60o =
