easy · MCQ · Q-47CC68
If a magnetic material is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field, it experiences:
- A.Only a force
- B.Only a torque
- C.Both a force and a torqueCorrect answer
- D.Neither force nor torque
Solution
In a non-uniform magnetic field, a magnetic dipole experiences both a net force (due to spatial variation of the field) and a torque (due to the directional alignment).
