A bar magnet is hung by a thin cotton thread in a uniform horizontal magnetic field and is in the equilibrium state. The energy required to rotate it by ${60}^{\circ }$ is W. Now the torque required to keep the magnet in this new position is:

1. $\frac{W}{\sqrt{3}}$ 
2. $\sqrt{3}W$
3. $\frac{\sqrt{3}W}{2}$ 
4. $\frac{2W}{\sqrt{3}}$

The magnetic susceptibility is negative for

1. paramagnetic material only

2. ferromagnetic material only

3. paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials

4. diamagnetic material only

A magnetic needle suspended parallel to a magnetic field requires $\sqrt{3}$ J of work to turn it through $60°$. The torque needed to maintain the needle in this position will be

2. 3 J

3. $\sqrt{3}$ J                       

4. $\frac{3}{2}$ J

There are four light-weight-rod samples; A, B, C, D separately suspended by threads. A bar magnet is slowly brought near each sample and the following observations are noted:

(iv) D remains unaffected

Which one of the following is true?

1. C is of a diamagnetic material

2. D is of a ferromagnetic material

3. A is of a non-magnetic material

4. B is of a paramagnetic material

A short bar magnet of magnetic moment 0.4 JT^–1 is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.16 T. The magnet is in stable equilibrium when the potential energy is:

3. – 0.82 J

4. – 0.064 J

A vibration magnetometer placed in a magnetic meridian has a small bar magnet. The magnet executes oscillations with a time period of 2s in earth's horizontal magnetic field of 24 $\mu$T. When a horizontal field is 18 $\mu$T is produced opposite to the earth's field by placing a current-carrying wire, the new time period of the magnet will be

(a) 1s          (b) 2s

(c) 3s          (d) 4s
