$A$ magnet of magnetic moment $M$ is situated with its axis along the direction of a magnetic field of strength $B$. The work done in rotating it by an angle of $180^{\circ}$ will be

Two identical bar magnets of magnetic moment $M$ each,are placed along $X$ and $Y$-axes,respectively at a distance $d$ from the origin (as shown in the figure). The origin lies on the perpendicular bisector of the magnet placed on the $X$-axis and on the magnetic axis of the magnet placed on the $Y$-axis. If the magnitude of the total magnetic field at the origin is $B = \alpha \left[ \frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{M}{d^3} \right]$,then the value of the constant $\alpha$ will be (given $d >> l$,where $l$ is the length of the bar magnets and the direction of $N$ to $S$ in the magnets is opposite with respect to each other).
