Question

The operation of an MRI scanner involves the magnetic torque on the protons that are abundant in the hydrogen of water and fat molecules. The proton’s magnetic dipole moment is 1.41×10−26A⋅m21.41×10−26A⋅m2. Find the magnitude of the maximum possible torque on a proton when it’s in an MRI scanner’s 2.2-TT magnetic field. (Your answer doesn’t take into account quantum effects.)
