Problem

A bar magnet of magnetic moment 2.0 A⋅m22.0\text{ A}\cdot\text{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 Earth's magnetic field is B=25 μTB=25\,\mu\text{T}, directed from south to north.
