$A$ short bar magnet placed with its axis at $30^{\circ}$ with a uniform external magnetic field of $0.25 \; T$ experiences a torque of magnitude equal to $4.5 \times 10^{-2} \; J$. What is the magnitude of magnetic moment (in $J \; T^{-1}$) of the magnet?

The magnetic moment of a magnet is $2.5 \, J \, T^{-1}$. How much work in $J$ must be done to rotate it from its stable equilibrium position to an unstable equilibrium position in a magnetic field of $0.2 \, T$?

Two identical small bar magnets, each of dipole moment $3\sqrt{5} \text{ J/T}$, are placed at a center-to-center separation of $10 \text{ cm}$, with their axes perpendicular to each other as shown in the figure. The value of the magnetic field at the point $P$ midway between the magnets is $\alpha \times 10^{-3} \text{ T}$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .

Two short bar magnets of magnetic moments $m$ each are arranged at the opposite corners of a square of side $d$ such that their centres coincide with the corners and their axes are parallel. If the like poles are in the same direction,the magnetic induction at any of the other corners of the square is
