A

a force but not a torque

B

a torque but not a force

C

a force and a torque

D

neither a force nor a torque

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When a magnet is placed in a uniform magnetic field it experience a torque but not a force.
When a magnet is placed in anon-uniforme magnet field ,it experiences both force and torque .
