ACT Three different orientations of a magnetic dipole moment in a constant magnetic field are shown below. We want to rotate the dipole in the CCW direction. qa fa qc B • First, consider rotating to position c. What are the signs of the work done by you and the work done by the field? • Wyou > 0, Wfield > 0 • Wyou > 0, Wfield < 0 • Wyou < 0, Wfield > 0 • Wyou < 0, Wfield < 0 • DU > 0, so Wfield < 0. Wyou must be opposite Wfield • Also, torque and displacement in opposite directions Wfield < 0 30
ACT Consider rotating the dipole to each of the three final orientations shown. qa fa qc B • Does the sign of the work done by you depend on which position (a, b, or c) the dipole is rotated to? • Yes • No The lowest potential energy state is with dipole parallel to B. The potential energy will be higher at any of a, b, or c. 30
