Question
Assertion : When a magnetic dipole is placed in a non uniform magnetic field, only a torque acts on the dipole.
Reason : Force would also acts on dipole if magnetic field were uniform.

Answer

(d) In a non-uniform magnetic field, both a torque and a net force acts on the dipole. If magnetic field were uniform, net force on dipole would be zero.
