Statement I: When a magnetic dipole is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field, only a torque acts on the dipole.
Statement II: Force would act on dipole if magnetic field is uniform.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
In a non-uniform magnetic field, a torque and a net force both act on the dipole. If magnetic field is uniform, net force on dipole would be zero.
