A short bar magnet placed with its axis at 30° with an external field of 800 G experiences a torque of 0.016 Nm.
(a) What is the magnetic moment of the magnet ?
(b) What is the work done in moving it from its most stable to most unstable position ?
(c) The bar magnet is replaced by a solenoid of cross-sectional area `2 xx 10^(-4) m^(2)` and 1000 turns, but of the same magnetic moment. Determine the current flowing through the solenoid.

Explanation

(a) `m=1 "Am"^(2) `, (b) `W=6 xx 10^(-2) J`, ( c ) `1= 0.5 A`
