The torque from a magnetic field, →B, exerted on a loop with a magnetic dipole moment, →μ, is given by: →τ=→μ×→B The torque...The torque from a magnetic field, →B, exerted on a loop with a magnetic dipole moment, →μ, is given by: →τ=→μ×→B The torque is zero when the magnetic dipole moment vector is parallel to the magnetic field vector (corresponding to the loop being “aligned” with the magnetic field).
