The relation M = μ × 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. © 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract

The relation M = μ × 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. © 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd.
