    A bar magnet of magnetic moment\[\overrightarrow{M}\]is placed in the magnetic field B. The torque acting on the magnet is:

    A)  \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{M}}\,\times \overset{\to }{\mathop{B}}\,\]          

    B)  \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{M}}\,-\overset{\to }{\mathop{B}}\,\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{2}\overset{\to }{\mathop{M}}\,\times \overset{\to }{\mathop{B}}\,\]        

    D)  \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{M}}\,+\overset{\to }{\mathop{B}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Torque acting on the magnet is given by \[\overrightarrow{\tau }=\overset{\to }{\mathop{M}}\,\times \overset{\to }{\mathop{B}}\,\] Here,\[\overset{\to }{\mathop{M}}\,=\]magnetic moment, \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{B}}\,=\]magnetic field.
