Variations in the Magnetic Torque Acting on a Wire
Bonati, Claudio
European Journal of Physics, v33 n4 p987-995 Jul 2012
The relation M = [mu] x B is presented in all elementary courses on electromagnetism, but it is usually given just for the simple case of a rectangular wire. We will present a completely general but elementary proof of this relation together with two more advanced proof methods. We will then provide some extensions: non-closed wires and non-uniform magnetic field. (Contains 1 figure and 1 footnote.)
