Question: Why does an iron nail near a bar magnet experience both a force of attraction and a torque?

Options

  1. ABecause the iron nail is made of a magnetic material.
  2. BDue to the presence of an induced magnetic moment in the nail.
  3. CBecause the bar magnet exerts a uniform magnetic field.
  4. DBecause the nail's shape causes it to experience torque.

Correct answer

B. Due to the presence of an induced magnetic moment in the nail.

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (B)
Due to the presence of an induced magnetic moment in the nail.
