Solution

The correct option is B 2×103J
magnetic moment m=4 Am2
magnetic field B=5×104T
Potential energy of dipole placed in uniform field μ=m.B...(i)
From energy conservation principle:
ΔK+ΔU=0...(ii)
K2K1=(U1U2)
K1=0, U1=0

U2=mB from equation (i)
=4×5×104

From equation (ii)
K20=0+20×104
K2=2×103 J
