Explanation

**Relation between B, H, M** is B = μ₀(H+M) = μ₀(1+χ)H. Susceptibility χ = μ_r -1 quantifies material response. Given B, μ_r, n, current I = B/(μ₀ μ_r n), with μ₀ = 4π×10⁻⁷ T·m/A, enabling current calculation for desired B with magnetic core. tau = m B sinθ . Given: m = 0.2 A m² , B = 0.5 T , θ = 90° , sin 90° = 1 . tau = 0.2 × 0.5 × 1 = 0.1 N m . Substituting values gives 0.1 N m, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
