Question:medium
When a bar magnet of dipole moment $m$ is suspended in a uniform magnetic field $B$, then
When a bar magnet of dipole moment $m$ is suspended in a uniform magnetic field $B$, then
Show Hint
Physics Tip: Uniform magnetic field gives torque only. Non-uniform magnetic field gives force + torque.
Updated On: Apr 27, 2026
- the force on it is $m \times B$
- its potential energy is $-m.B$
- the torque on it is zero
- both torque and force on it are zero
- it moves away from the field $B$
Show Solution
The Correct Option is B

- A rectangular loop of sides \( a \) and \( b \) carrying current \( I \) is placed in a magnetic field \( \vec{B} \) such that its area vector \( \vec{A} \) makes an angle \( \theta \) with \( \vec{B} \). With the help of a suitable diagram, show that the torque \( \vec{\tau} \) acting on the loop is given by \( \vec{\tau} = \vec{m} \times \vec{B} \), where \( \vec{m} (= I \vec{A}) \) is the magnetic dipole moment of the loop.
