Show that the energy of a magnetic dipole m in a magnetic field B is U--m B

Physics

Juli2301 [7.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

showm

Explanation:

Consider a dipole having magnetic moment 'm' is placed in magnetic field \vec{B} then the torque exerted by the field on the dipole is

\tau = m\times B

\tau=mBsin\alpha

Now to rotate the dipole in the field to its final position the work required to be done is

U=\int \tau d\alpha

U=\int mBsin\alpha d\alpha

U= -mBcos\alpha

U=-\vec{m\times \vec{B}}

Minimum energy mB is for the case when m is anti parallel to B.

Minimum energy -mB is for the case when m is parallel to B.
