$A$ bar magnet of magnetic moment $2 \text{ A m}^2$ lies aligned with the direction of a uniform magnetic field of $0.3 \text{ T}$. The amount of work required by an external torque to turn the magnet so as to align its magnetic moment normal to the field direction is (in $\text{ J}$)

Two magnetic dipoles $X$ and $Y$ are placed at a separation $d$,with their axes perpendicular to each other. The dipole moment of $Y$ is twice that of $X$. $A$ particle of charge $q$ is passing through their mid-point $P$,at an angle $\theta = 45^\circ$ with the horizontal line as shown in the figure. What would be the magnitude of the force on the particle at that instant? ($d$ is much larger than the dimensions of the dipole)

The work done in rotating a bar magnet,which is initially in the direction of a uniform magnetic field,through $45^{\circ}$ is $W$. The additional work to be done to rotate the magnet further through $15^{\circ}$ is
