Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

The potential energy of a magnetic dipole of moment m placed in a magnetic field is .When the magnet is aligned in the direction of the field, and the initial potential energy When the magnet is placed perpendicular to the direction of the field,its potential energy is .Work done in rotating the magnet is equal to the change in its potential energy. 
Q10. A bar magnet is equivalent to
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

A solenoid carrying current produces a magnetic field very similar to that of bar magnet. The magnetic field lines emerge from the ends of a solenoid and the number of field lines near its perpendicular bisector is almost equal to zero. A circular coil produces field along its axis. A straight conductor produces a magnetic field that can be represented by concentric circles. A toroid is a solenoid that has collapsed on itself. The field in a toroid is confined to the ring like region bounded by the toroid.
