The work done in rotating a bar magnet of magnetic moment from its unstable equilibrium position to its stable equilibrium position in a uniform magnetic field is is

Important Questions on Matter and Magnetism
A bar magnet is oscillating in Earth's magnetic field with the time period . If a similar magnet with the same mass and dimensions has magnetic dipole moment times that of this magnet, then the periodic time will be______.





A square loop of dimensions consists of closely wrapped turns. The loop is hinged along the -axis. A uniform magnetic field of is directed along the -axis.
How much current should flow in the loop so that the maximum torque exerted on the loop is







A short bar magnet is placed in the magnetic meridian of the earth with North Pole pointing north. Neutral points are found at a distance of from the magnet on the East-West line, drawn through the middle point of the magnet. The magnetic moment of the magnet in is close to:
(Given in SI units and Horizontal component of earth's magnetic field Tesla.)



The current in the coil is reversed and the coil is rotated about its vertical axis by an angle of in the anticlockwise sense looking from above. Predict the direction of the needle. Take the magnetic declination at the places to be zero.






A current carrying loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field in four different orientations I, II, III and IV as shown in figure. Arrange them in decreasing order of potential energy.
