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

$\dfrac{2W}{\sqrt{3}}$
$\dfrac{W}{\sqrt{3}}$
$\sqrt{3}W$
$\dfrac{\sqrt{3}W}{2}$
Explanation:

Wext = Uf – Vi

= – MB cos 60° – (–MB)

= MB(1 – cos 60°) = MB/2 = W

r = MB sin 60° = MB $\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ =$ \sqrt{3}$W

Answer

Which of the following combinations should be selected for better tuning of an L–C–R circuit used for communication?

Answer

A uniform magnetic field is restricted within a region of radius r. The magnetic field changes with time at a rate $\dfrac{d\overrightarrow{B}}{dt}$. Loop 1 of radius R > r encloses the region r and loop 2 of radius R is outside the region of magnetic field as shown in the figure below. Then the e.m.f. generated ismagnetic field loop
