Torque on a current loop (moment m) in uniform field B:
Am + B
Bm × B (magnitude m B sin theta)
Cm B
Dm / B
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. m × B (magnitude m B sin theta)
τ = m × B. Magnitude τ = mB sin theta. Maximum when m is perpendicular to B; zero when parallel/antiparallel. This is the basis of electric motors.
