AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Properties of Matter

A short bar magnet placed with its axis at \(45^{\circ}\) with a uniform external magnetic field of \(28.3 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~T}\) experiences a torque of magnitude equal to \(3.6 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~J}\). The magnitude of magnetic moment of the magnet is nearly

  1. A \(1.8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(1.2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(2.4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(1.6 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that \(\tau=\mathrm{MB} \sin \theta\) \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{M}=\frac{\tau}{\mathrm{B} \sin 45^{\circ}}=\frac{3.6 \times 10^{-5}}{28.3 \times 10^{-3} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}=1.8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)
