Assertion: When a magnetic dipole is pla...

Assertion: When a magnetic dipole is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field, only a torque acts on the dipole.
Reason: Force would also acts on dipole if magnetic field were uniform.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In a non-uniform magnetic field, both torque and net force act on the dipole. If magnetic field were uniform, net force on dipole would be zero..
