Can a magnetic dipole experience a torque or net force in (i) a uniform magnetic field and (ii) a non-uniform magnetic field?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) In a uniform magnetic field, net force will be zero but torque will not be zero. (ii) In a non non-uniform magnetic field, the dipole will experience both a torque and a force.
