A magnet of magnetic moment \( 50 \hat{i} \text{ A m}^2 \) is placed along the X-axis in a magnetic field \( \vec{B} = (0.5 \hat{i} + 3.0 \hat{j}) \text{ T} \). The torque acting on it is

  1. A \( 175 \hat{k} \text{ Nm} \)
  2. B \( 150 \hat{k} \text{ Nm} \)
  3. C \( 75 \hat{k} \text{ Nm} \)
  4. D \( 25\sqrt{37} \hat{k} \text{ Nm} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 150 \hat{k} \text{ Nm} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \vec{\tau} = \vec{M} \times \vec{B} \) \( \vec{\tau} = (50 \hat{i}) \times (0.5 \hat{i} + 3.0 \hat{j}) \) \( \vec{\tau} = (50)(3.0) (\hat{i} \times \hat{j}) \) \( \vec{\tau} = 150 \hat{k} \text{ Nm} \)
