Practice question
Question
A magnetic dipole of moment 0.6 A m² is in a uniform field of 0.4 T at 60° . What is the torque on it?
Explanation
Given:
A magnetic dipole of moment 0.6 A m² is in a uniform field of 0.4 T at 60° . What is the torque on it?
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
Torque is tau = m B sinθ.
This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon.
Substitution & Calculation:
Given: m = 0.6 A m², B = 0.4 T, θ = 60°, sin 60° = fracsqrt32 approx 0.866 . Substitute: tau = 0.6 × 0.4 × 0.866 approx 0.20784 N m approx 0.21 N m .
Result:
The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kgâ»Â¹ Kâ»Â¹, m/s², 10â»âµ are properly used as per NCERT.
