A circular current loop of magnetic moment \( M \) is in an arbitrary orientation in an external uniform magnetic field \( \vec{B} \). The work done to rotate the loop by \( 30^{\circ} \) about an axis perpendicular to its plane is

  1. A \( \frac{M B}{2} \)
  2. B MB
  3. C Zero
  4. D \( \sqrt{3} \frac{M B}{2} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Even though the coil is rotated, about an axis perpendicular to its plane, the potential energy does not change. Hence, work done is zero.
