The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of calculating the work done when a magnet with magnetic moment \( M \) is rotated through \( 360^\circ \) in a magnetic field \( H \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial and Final Angles**: - The initial angle \( \theta_1 \) can be considered as \( 0^\circ \) (the direction of the magnetic moment is aligned with the magnetic field). - The final angle \( \theta_2 \) after rotating the magnet through \( 360^\circ \) is also \( 360^\circ \), which is equivalent to \( 0^\circ \) in terms of direction. 2. **Using the Work Done Formula**: - The work done \( W \) in rotating a magnetic moment in a magnetic field is given by the formula: \[ W = M B (\cos \theta_1 - \cos \theta_2) \] - Here, \( B \) is the magnetic field strength, which in this case is given as \( H \). 3. **Substituting the Values**: - Substitute \( B \) with \( H \): \[ W = M H (\cos 0^\circ - \cos 360^\circ) \] 4. **Calculating the Cosine Values**: - We know that: \[ \cos 0^\circ = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad \cos 360^\circ = 1 \] - Therefore, substituting these values into the equation gives: \[ W = M H (1 - 1) = M H \cdot 0 \] 5. **Final Result**: - Since the expression simplifies to zero: \[ W = 0 \] - Thus, the work done in rotating the magnet through \( 360^\circ \) in the magnetic field \( H \) is \( 0 \). ### Conclusion: The work done when a magnet of magnetic moment \( M \) is rotated through \( 360^\circ \) in a magnetic field \( H \) is \( 0 \).
