NEET2011PhysicsMagnetic Properties of MatterActual
A short bar magnet of magnetic moment 0.4 ~J ~T ⁻¹ is place in a uniform magnetic field of 0.16 ~T . The magnet is stable equilibrium when the potential energy is
Options
- A-0.64 ~J
- Bzero
- C-0.082 ~J
- D0.064 ~J
Correct answer
D. 0.064 ~J
Step-by-step solution
We know that U=-M B For stable equilibrium =0^ aligned U & =-M B & =-(0.4)(0.16)=-0.064 ~J aligned
