A magnetic dipole experiences a torque of 80 3 ~N ~m when placed in uniform magnetic field in such a way that dipole moment makes angle of 60^ with magnetic field. The potential energy of the dipole is :
Options
- A80 ~J
- B-40 3 ~J
- C-60 ~J
- D-80 ~J
Correct answer
D. -80 ~J
Step-by-step solution
= M B = MB 60= 3 2 MB =80 3 aligned & MB =160 & U =- M B =- MB 60 & U =-160 1 / 2=-80 ~J aligned
