$A$ bar magnet of magnetic moment $10^4\,J/T$ is free to rotate in a horizontal plane. The work done in rotating the magnet slowly from a direction parallel to a horizontal magnetic field of $4 \times 10^{-5}\,T$ to a direction $60^\circ$ from the field will be... $J$.

The magnetic potential at a point on the axial line of a bar magnet of dipole moment $M$ is $V$. What is the magnetic potential due to a bar magnet of dipole moment $\frac{M}{4}$ at the same point?

Two identical short bar magnets,each having a magnetic moment of $10 \, Am^2$,are arranged such that their axial lines are perpendicular to each other and their centres lie along the same straight line in a horizontal plane. If the distance between their centres is $0.2 \, m$,find the resultant magnetic induction at a point midway between them. (Given: $\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, Hm^{-1}$)

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 $3.6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$. Calculate the resultant horizontal magnetic induction at the midpoint of the line joining their centres. (Given: $\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} = 10^{-7} \text{ N/A}^2$)

$A$ 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:
