**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Magnetic Moment**: The magnetic moment of a bar magnet is a vector quantity that characterizes the magnet's strength and orientation in a magnetic field. It is defined as the torque (τ) experienced by the magnet when placed in an external magnetic field (B). Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ \mu = \frac{\tau}{B} \] where: ...
