Magnetic fields: Force and torque on a current loop

Description:

This resource tell about To look at the behavior of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field by studying the operation of a mass spectrometer, to calculate the torque on a rectangular loop of current-carrying wire sitting in an external magnetic field and define the magnetic dipole moment of a loop of current-carrying wire and write the torque on the loop in terms of that vector and the external magnetic field.
