A magnetic needle lying parallel to a magnetic field requires W units of work to turn it through 60o. The torque required to maintain the needle in this position will be

a
3 W
b
W
c
32W
d
2W

detailed solution

Correct option is A

W=MB(cos θ1-cos θ2)=MB(cos 0o-cos 60o)=MB1-12=MB2and τ=MB sinθ=MB sin60o=MB32∴τ=MB23⇒τ=3W
