To find the work done in rotating a bar magnet with magnetic moment \( M \) through an angle \( \theta \) in a uniform magnetic field of strength \( B \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Torque Acting on the Magnet The torque \( \tau \) acting on a magnetic moment \( M \) in a magnetic field \( B \) is given by the formula: \[ \tau = M \times B \sin(\phi) \] where \( \phi \) is the angle between the magnetic moment and the magnetic field. ...
