-
Torque on a magnetic dipole
The torque on dipole placed in the magnetic field of dipole is where is the angle between and the magnetic field due to .
-
Magnetic field due to a short magnetic dipole
For a dipole of magnetic moment at distance on its equatorial line, the magnetic field is
Given: and
So,
-
Maximum torque
Since only the magnitudes are given, torque is taken for the perpendicular orientation:
Hence,
-
Required integer
The torque is
Therefore, the required integer is 1.
