A bar magnet is held perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. The couple acting
on the magnet is to be halved by rotating it. Through what angle it should be
rotated? \(\left[\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=1\right]\)

  1. A \(\sin ^{-1}(0 \cdot 8660)\)
  2. B \(\sin ^{-1}(0 \cdot 7071)\)
  3. C \(\sin ^{-1}(1)\)
  4. D \(\sin ^{-1}(0 \cdot 5)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\sin ^{-1}(0 \cdot 5)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(D)
\(T=M B \sin \theta\)
When \(\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}, \quad \mathrm{~T}=\mathrm{MB} \sin \frac{\pi}{2}=\mathrm{MB}\)
Let \(\quad T^{\prime}=\frac{T}{2}=M B \sin \theta^{\prime}=\frac{M B}{2}=M B \sin \theta^{\prime}\)
\(\therefore \sin \theta^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5\)
\(\theta^{\prime}=\sin ^{-1} 0.5\)
