A bar magnet of magnetic moment M_1 is suspended by a wirein a magnetic field. The tip of the wire is rotated through180^(@) , then the magnet rotated through45^(@) . Under similar conditions the magnet of magnetic moment M_2 is rotated through30^@ . Then find the ratio of M_2& M_2.

Answer»

Solution :We knowthat TORQUE `, tau = MB sin theta `
But ` tau = C phi` .
`:. C phi = MB sin theta `
For FIRST magnet ,
` C xx 180= M_1B sin 45^(@)` ....... (1)
For second magnet ,
` C xx 180 = M_2B sin30^(@)` ....... (2)
From eqs. (1) and (2)
`M_1 B sin 45^(@) = M_2 B sin 30^(@) implies (M_1)/(M_2) = (sin 30^@)/(sin 45^(@))`
`implies (M_1)/(M_2) = (1//2)/(1 // sqrt(2)) = (sqrt(2))/(2) = (1)/(sqrt(2))`
`:. M _1 : M_2 = 1: sqrt(2)`
