The range of potential energies of the wire-field system for different orientations of the circle are -

θ U

0° 375 π x $10^{-7}$

90° 0

180° - 375 π x $10^{-7}$

We have current carrying wire in a form of a circle placed in a uniform magnetic field.

We have to the range of potential energies of the wire-field system for different orientations of the circle.

<h3>What is the formula to calculate the Magnetic Potential Energy?</h3>

The formula to calculate the magnetic potential energy is -

U = M.B = MB cos $$\theta$

where -

M is the Dipole Moment.

B is the Magnetic Field Intensity.

According to the question, we have -

U = M.B = MB cos $$\theta$

We can write M = IA (I is current and A is cross sectional Area)

U = IAB cos $$\theta$

U = Iπ $r^{2}$ B cos $$\theta$

For $$\theta$ = 0° →

U(Max) = MB cos(0) = MB = Iπ $r^{2}$ B = 5 × π × $( 0.05 ) ^{2}$ × 3 × $10^{-3}$ =

375 π x $10^{-7}$ .

For $$\theta$ = 90° →

U = MB cos (90) = 0

For $$\theta$ = 180° →

U(Min) = MB cos(0) = - MB = - Iπ $r^{2}$ B = - 5 × π × $( 0.05 ) ^{2}$ × 3 × $10^{-3}$ =

- 375 π x $10^{-7}$ .

Hence, the range of potential energies of the wire-field system for different orientations of the circle are -

θ U

0° 375 π x $10^{-7}$

90° 0

180° - 375 π x $10^{-7}$
