TS EAMCET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A magnetic needle lying parallel to a magnetic field is turned through \(60^{\circ}\). The work done on it is \(W\). The torque required to maintain the magnetic needle in the position mentioned above is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Work done \(\begin{aligned} W & =M B\left(1-\cos 60^{\circ}\right) \\ & =\frac{M B}{2}\end{aligned}\) The torque required to maintain the magnetic needle…
