Question
The force on a north pole,$\overrightarrow{\text{F}}=\text{m}\overrightarrow{\text{B}},$ is parallel to the field $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}.$ Does it contradict our earlier knowledge that a magnetic field can exert forces only perpendicular to itself?

Answer

Yes it contradicts as force is always perpendicular to magnetic field. but in case other force is very far distant then the magnetic field can be parallel to force.
