Problem

The magnetic field induction in the center of a thin steel disk of radius R magnetized along its axis is equal to B. This disk is placed in a uniform magnetic field with induction B₀, which does not change the magnetic moment of the disk. How should the disk be oriented in this magnetic field so that the moment of forces acting on it is maximal? What is this moment equal to?
