The magnetic moment of a bar magnet is $0.5 \text{ A m}^2$. It is suspended in a uniform magnetic field of $8 \times 10^{-2} \text{ T}$. The work done in rotating it from its most stable to most unstable position is:

  • A
    $16 \times 10^{-2} \text{ J}$
  • B
    $8 \times 10^{-2} \text{ J}$
  • C
    $4 \times 10^{-2} \text{ J}$
  • D
    Zero

Two short bar magnets have their magnetic moments $1.2 \text{ A m}^2$ and $1.0 \text{ A m}^2$. They are placed on a horizontal table parallel to each other at a distance of $20 \text{ cm}$ between their centres,such that their north poles point towards geographic south. They have a common magnetic equatorial line. The horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is $3.6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$.
