A bar magnet is oriented perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field as shown in . Describe the force and/or torque on the magnet.

There is a net torque on the magnet in a clockwise direction.

There is a net torque on the magnet in a counterclockwise direction.

There is a net force on the magnet opposite to the direction of the magnetic field (towards the top of screen).

There is a net force on the magnet in the direction of the magnetic field (towards the bottom of screen).

There is no net force or torque on the magne

Solutions

Expert Solution

Option b) is correct.

There is a net torque on the magnet in a counterclockwise direction.

Explanation:

A magnetic dipole kept in a uniform magnetic field has a tendency to orient its dipole moment vector along the magnetic field direction. The magnetic dipole moment vector is directed from South to North of the dipole
