A charged particle in a magnetic field experiences a magnetic force that is perpendicular to it.
But is that the case with magnetic dipoles?
There was this section in my textbook describing Torque on a Bar magnet in a uniform magnetic field which states that the magnetic force m.B on one pole of bar magnet acts along the magnetic field. But that does not fit with the above statement that Magnetic force always acts perpendicular to particles.
Please Explain.
Thanks
