Torque on a magnetic dipole (current loop) of moment m placed in a uniform field B at angle θ is:
Am B sinθ
Bm B cosθ
Cm B
Dm / B
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. m B sinθ
1. τ = m × B; magnitude = m B sinθ.
2. m for a planar loop = N I A, perpendicular to the plane (right-hand rule).
3. Analogous to electric dipole in electric field.
