A current loop is a magnetic field is in equilibrium in two orientations one is stable and another unstable.

\begin{array}{l} \because \overrightarrow{\mathrm{T}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=\mathrm{MBsin} \theta \\ \text { If } \theta=0^{\circ} \Rightarrow \mathrm{\tau}=0 \quad \text { (stable) } \\ \text { If } \theta=\pi \Rightarrow \mathrm{\tau}=0 \quad \text { (unstable) } \end{array} 

Do not experience a torque in some orientations.
