If \( \vec{M} \) is the magnetic moment and \( \vec{B} \) is the magnetic field, then the torque is given by

  1. A \( \vec{M} \cdot \vec{B} \)
  2. B \( \frac{|\vec{M}|}{|\vec{B}|} \)
  3. C \( \vec{M} \times \vec{B} \)
  4. D \( \frac{|\vec{B}|}{|\vec{M}|} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( \vec{M} \times \vec{B} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \vec{M} \times \vec{B} \) This is the correct vector notation for torque. The magnitude is given by \(\tau=M B \sin \theta\), where \(\theta\) is the angle between the two vectors.
