Q. Rate of change of torque $\tau$ with deflection $\theta$ is maximum for a magnet suspended freely in a uniform magnetic field of induction $B$, when
A) $\theta = 0{^\circ}$
B) $\theta = 45{^\circ}$
C) $\theta = 60{^\circ}$
D) $\theta = 90{^\circ}$
Explanation
(a) As $\tau = MB\ sin\theta,\frac{d\tau}{d\theta} = MB\ cos\theta$. It will be maximum, when $\theta = 0{^\circ}$
