Two short magnets $AB$ and $CD$ are in the $X-Y$ plane and are parallel to the $X$-axis. The coordinates of their centres are $(0,2)$ and $(2,0)$ respectively. The line joining the north-south poles of $CD$ is opposite to that of $AB$ and lies along the positive $X$-axis. The resultant magnetic field induction due to $AB$ and $CD$ at a point $P(2,2)$ is $100 \times 10^{-7} \ T$. When the poles of the magnet $CD$ are reversed, the resultant field induction is $50 \times 10^{-7} \ T$. The values of the magnetic moments of $AB$ and $CD$ (in $Am^2$) are:

$A$ short bar magnet of magnetic moment $0.4 \, J T^{-1}$ is placed in a uniform magnetic field of $0.16 \, T$. The magnet is in stable equilibrium when the potential energy is ....... $J$.

$A$ magnet of magnetic moment $M$ is lying in a uniform magnetic field $B$. $W_1$ is the work done in turning it from $0^o$ to $60^o$ and $W_2$ is the work done in turning it from $30^o$ to $90^o$. Then:

$A$ magnet of magnetic moment $M$ is situated with its axis along the direction of a magnetic field of strength $B$. The work done in rotating it by an angle of $180^{\circ}$ will be
