  • Magnetic Force on a Stationary Electric Dipole: Understanding the Physics
    The force exerted by a magnetic field on a stationary electric dipole is not zero. In fact, it is twice a vector product of the magnetic moment (m) of the dipole and the magnetic field (B). Hence, the force experienced by the stationary dipole is given by the equation:

    $$F = 2m \times B$$

    Where, "x" represents a vector (cross) product.
