AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

A magnetic needle lying parallel to a magnetic field requires \(W\) units of work to turn it through \(60^{\circ}\). The torque required to maintain the needle in this position will be

  1. A \(\sqrt{3} W\)
  2. B \(W\)
  3. C \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} W\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{~W}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{3} W\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the question, work done required to rotate magnetic needle from \(\theta_1=0^{\circ}\) to \(\theta_2=60^{\circ}\). \(W=M B\left(\cos \theta_1-\cos \theta_2\right)\)…
