The figure below shows the north and south poles of a permanent magnet in which n turn coil of the area of cross-section A is resting, such that for a current i passed through the coil, the plane of the coil makes an angle $\theta$ with respect to the direction of magnetic field B. If the plane of the magnetic field and the coil are horizontal and vertical respectively, the torque on the coil will be:

$1. \tau =niAB\cos \theta$
$2. \tau =niAB\sin \theta$
$3. \tau =niAB$
$4. None of the above$

 

If a bar magnet of magnetic moment M is freely suspended in a uniform magnetic field of strength B, the work done in rotating the magnet through an angle is

2. $MB\sin \theta$

3. $MB\cos \theta$

4. $MB(1-\cos \theta )$

A magnet of magnetic moment M is situated with its axis along the direction of a magnetic field of strength B. The work done in rotating it by an angle of 180^o will be

(4) +2MB

A magnetic needle is kept in a non-uniform magnetic field. It experiences:

4. Neither a torque nor a force

A long magnetic needle of length 2L, magnetic moment M and pole strength m units is broken into two pieces at the middle. The magnetic moment and pole strength of each piece will be:

Rate of change of torque  with deflection is maximum for a magnet suspended freely in a uniform magnetic field of induction B, when

Force between two identical bar magnets whose centres are r metre apart  is 4.8 N, when their axes are in the same line. If separation is increased to 2r, the force between them is reduced to

A bar magnet of magnetic moment 10⁴J/T is free to rotate in a horizontal plane. The work done in rotating the magnet slowly from a direction parallel to a horizontal magnetic field of 4×10^–5 T to a direction 60° from the field will be
