Abstract: The relation M = mu x B is presented in all elementary courses on electromagnetism but it is usually given just for the simple case of a rectangular wire. We will present a completely general but elementary proof of this relation together with two more advanced proof methods. We will then provide some extensions: non-closed wires and non-uniform magnetic field.
