MCQ
Which of the following loop is in stable equallibrium
  • A

  • B

  • C


Answer

Correct option: D.

d
For stable equilibrium potential energy should be minimum

$\mathrm{U}=-\mathrm{MB} \cos \theta$

$\theta \rightarrow$ angle $\mathrm{b} / \mathrm{w}\,\,\, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{M}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}$

$\mathrm{U}_{\min }$ at $\theta=0^{\circ}$
