A short bar magnet placed with its axis at 30^(@) with a uniform external magnetic field of 0.25T. T experiences a torque of magnitude equal to 4.5 xx 10^(-2)J. What is the magnitude of magntic moment of the magnet?

Answer»

Solution :When magnetic dipole moment `overset(to) (m)` of a bar magnet makes angle `theta` with external uniform magnetic field `overset(to) (B)` TORQUE `overset(to) (TAU)` exerted on it is GIVEN by,
`overset(to)(tau ) = overset(to) xx overset(to)(B)""...(1)`
`therefore tau = mB SIN theta""...(2)`
`therefore m= (tau)/( B sin theta)`
`= (4.5 xx 10^(-2) )/( (0.25) (sin 30^@) )`
`= (0.045)/( (0.25) (0.5) )`
`therefore m= 0.36` (ampere)(metre) `""^(2)`
