When a magnetic dipole with magnetic moment

\mu

makes an angle

\theta

with a uniform magnetic field of magnitude

B

, which expression gives the magnitude of the torque acting on the dipole? (a)

\tau = \mu B

(b)

\tau = \mu B\cos\theta

(c)

\tau = \mu B\sin\theta

(d)

\tau = 2\mu B\sin\theta
