We can find the force on the magnetic dipole by using the equation: F = ∇(m . B)

where F is the force, m is the magnetic dipole moment, and B is the magnetic field.

Substituting the given values, we get:

\(F= \nabla (10 \hat{i} + 10 \hat{j} +10\hat{k}.0.6\hat{i}+0.4\hat{j}+0.5\hat{k})\)

\(F= \nabla (6 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} +5\hat{k}+6\hat{j}+4\hat{i}+5\hat{k}+6\hat{k}+5\hat{j}+4\hat{i})\)

\(F= \nabla (10 \hat{i} + 10 \hat{j} +10\hat{k})\)

\(F= 10\nabla ( \hat{i} + \hat{j} +\hat{k})\)

As the magnetic field is not given as a function of position, we can assume that it is uniform over the region where the magnetic dipole is placed. Hence, the gradient of the magnetic field is zero, and the force on the magnetic dipole is zero. Therefore, the force acting on the dipole is zero.

    A charged particle $+q$ in an electric field $\vec{E}$ experiences a force in the direction of the electric field. As a result, its kinetic energy changes. Similarly, the charged particle also experiences a force when it moves in a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. But this magnetic force is perpendicular to both velocity $\vec{v}$ of the charged particle and the magnetic field $\vec{B}$, so it cannot change the kinetic energy of the charged particle. Consider two charged particles 1 and 2 of masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ having charges $-q$ and $+2q$ respectively. They are accelerated from rest through the same potential difference $V$ and acquire kinetic energy $K_1$ and $K_2$. Then they enter in a region of uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ perpendicular to their velocities.
