A magnetic dipole in a constant magnetic field has
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) zero potential energy when the torque is maximum
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Potential energy of dipole,
\(U = - pE\,\cos \,\theta \)
Torque experienced by dipole
\(\tau = pE\,\sin \,\theta \)
Torque will be maximum \(({\tau _{\max }})\) when \(\theta = {90^o}\)
then potential energy \(U = 0\)
