Questions  

A magnetic dipole is free to rotate in a uniform magnetic field. For what orientation of the  magnet with respect to the magnetic field.

a) Torque is maximum             b) Potential energy is maximum

a
450 and 450
b
00 and 1500
c
900 and 1800
d
00 and 900

detailed solution

Correct option is C

We know torque  τ=MBsinθ    If  θ=900   τmax=MB         Also,  P.E=- MBcosθ  If  θ=1800P.E =  +MBHence key (3) is correct
