Potential energy of current carrying coil -

U=-MBcos 	heta

U=-underset{M}{
ightarrow}.underset{B}{
ightarrow}

-

 

In stable equilibrium \theta =0\\ U=-MB\\ =-0.4\times 0.16J=-0.064J

Option 2)

zero

This solution is incorrect 

Option 3)

-0.082J

This solution is incorrect 

Option 4)

0.064J

This solution is incorrect
