A bar magnet of magnetic moment 2.0 A-m22.0 \text{ A-m}^2 is free to rotate about a vertical axis through its centre. The magnet is released from rest from the east-west position. Find the kinetic energy of the magnet as it takes the north-south position. The horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is B=25μTB = 25 \mu\text{T}. Earth's magnetic field is from south to north.
