The torque on a magnetic dipole in a B field is:
$\mathbf{\tau} = \mathbf{m} \times \mathbf{B}$
How will a small current loop line up if the B field points uniformly up the page?

Consider a paramagnetic material placed in a uniform external magnetic field, $\mathbf{B}_{ext}$. The paramagnetic magnetizes, so that the total magnetic field just outside the material is now...
1. smaller than
2. larger than
3. the same as
it was before the material was placed.
