For a current loop with a radius 20 cm and current 2 A is in a uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T, largest potential energy difference is mathematically given as

du=0.2512J

<h3>What is the largest potential energy difference (in Joules) you can find between two orientations?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the initial velocity is mathematically given as

v0=-iAB

Therefore

-2*\pi(0.2)(0.5))

v0=-0.1256J

for 180

theta=0180=-iABcos180

V180=0.1256J

Therefore

du=v180-v0

0.1258-(-0.1256

du=0.2512J

In conclusion, potential energy

du=0.2512J
