The correct answer is: 0.36 J/T
Given, uniform magnetic field

                        B = 0.25 T

 

The magnitude of torque τ = 4 . 5 × 1 0 - 2 J

Angle between magnetic moment and magnetic field θ = 3 0 o

Torque experienced on a magnet placed in external magnetic field

                       τ = M × B

                        τ = MB  sin  θ       ∵   A × B = AB  sin  θ

             4.5 x 10-2 = M x 0.25 x sin 30o

                       M = 4 . 5 × 1 0 - 2 0 . 2 5 × sin  3 0 o

                          = 4 . 5 × 1 0 - 2 × 2 0 . 2 5 × 1           ∵   sin  3 0 o = 1 2

                            = 0.36 J/T.
