$A$ short bar magnet of magnetic moment $2.5 \text{ Am}^2$ is kept in a uniform magnetic field of $4 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$. The work done in moving the magnet from its most stable position to its most unstable position is:

  • A
    $40 \times 10^{-5} \text{ J}$
  • B
    $25 \times 10^{-5} \text{ J}$
  • C
    $10 \times 10^{-5} \text{ J}$
  • D
    $20 \times 10^{-5} \text{ J}$

Two short bar magnets have magnetic moments $1.2 \text{ Am}^2$ and $1.0 \text{ Am}^2$. They are placed on a horizontal table parallel to each other at a distance of $20 \text{ cm}$ between their centres, such that their north poles point towards the geographic south. They share a common magnetic equatorial line. The horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is $3.6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$.
