    A bar magnet of magnetic moment M is placed in the magnetic held B. The torque acting on the magnet is:

    A)  \[\mathbf{\vec{M}\times \vec{B}}\]                                    

    B)         \[\mathbf{\vec{M}}-\mathbf{\vec{B}}\]                             

    C)         \[\frac{1}{2}\mathbf{\vec{M}}\times \mathbf{\vec{B}}\]                           

    D)         \[\mathbf{\vec{M}}+\mathbf{\vec{B}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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