A magnetic dipole in a uniform magnetic field.
A magnetic dipole in a uniform magnetic field.
A small magnetic dipole with magnetic dipole moment \(\vec{\mu}\) is placed in a region containing a uniform external magnetic field \(\vec{B}\). The orientation of the dipole is defined by the angle \(\theta\) between \(\vec{\mu}\) and \(\vec{B}\). Which of the following correctly pairs the orientation that corresponds to the minimum magnetic potential energy of the system with the stability of the equilibrium at that orientation?
