Physics (CUET) Magnetic Effects

What happens when a magnetic dipole is placed in a uniform magnetic field?

It experiences no torque or force.

It experiences a torque but no linear force.

It experiences a linear force but no torque.

It experiences both torque and linear force.

A magnetic dipole placed in a uniform magnetic field experiences a torque but no linear force.

The torque tends to align the dipole with the magnetic field.

This effect is the basis for the functioning of many magnetic devices and instruments.
