To find the work done on a magnetic dipole when it is rotated from a stable equilibrium position (θ₁ = 0°) to an unstable equilibrium position (θ₂ = 180°), we can use the formula for work done on a magnetic dipole in a magnetic field: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Equilibrium Positions**: - The stable equilibrium position is when the dipole is aligned with the magnetic field (θ₁ = 0°). - The unstable equilibrium position is when the dipole is aligned opposite to the magnetic field (θ₂ = 180°). ...
