A magnetic dipole is placed at right angles to the direction of magnetic induction BB. If it is rotated through an angle of 180°180 °, then the work done is

Options

  1. AMBMB
  2. B2MB2MB
  3. C−2MB- 2MB
  4. Dzero

Correct answer

D. zero

Step-by-step solution

Work done in rotating a dipole

W=MBW = MB\left(cos {\theta}_{1} - cos {\theta}_{2}\right)

To rotate it from 90°90 ° to 0°0 °

{\theta}_{1} = 90 °θ2=0°{\theta}_{2} = 0 °

W=MBW = MB\left(\cos 90 ° - \cos 0 °\right)

W1={W}_{1} =MB\left(0 - 1\right) = - MB

W1=−MB{W}_{1} = - MB .........(i)

To rotate it from 0°0 ° to −90°- 90 ° in same manner.

{\theta}_{1} = 0 °θ2=−90°{\theta}_{2} = - 90 °

W2=MB{W}_{2} = MB\left(\cos 0 ° - \cos \left(- 90 °\right)\right)

W2=MB{W}_{2} = MB ........(ii)

Total workdone

W=W1+W2W = {W}_{1} + {W}_{2}

W=−MB+MBW = - MB + MB

W=0W = 0
