Q1-A short bar magnet of magnetic moment 0.9 J/T is placed with its axis at 60o to a uniform
magnetic field. It experiences a torque of 0.063 Nm. (i) calculate the strength of the magnetic
field and (ii) what orientation of the bar magnet corresponds to the equilibrium position in the
magnetic field?
Q2-A short bar magnet of magnetic moment m =0.32 J/T is placed in a uniform magnetic field
of 0.15 T. If the bar is free to rotate in the plane of the field, which orientation would correspond
to its (a) stable, and (b) unstable equilibrium? What is the potential energy of the magnet in each
case?
Q3-A closely wound solenoid of 2000 turns and area of cross-section1.6 × 10-4 ,carrying a

magnetic moment associated with the solenoid?(b) What is the force and torque on the
solenoid if a uniform horizontal magnetic field 7.2 ×10-2of is set up at an angle of with the axis
of the solenoid?
Q4-A short bar magnet has a magnetic moment of 0.48J/T. Give the direction and magnitude of
