The alignment of a magnetic dipole in a uniform field results in:
**Potential energy of magnetic dipole** U = -m B cosθ explains stability. Given m = 0.9 A·m², B = 0.5 T, θ = 90°, sin90° = 1, τ = 0.45 N·m. For 60°, sin60° = √3/2 ≈0.866, reducing torque proportionally. In a uniform field, a magnetic dipole experiences a torque that aligns it with the field to minimize potential energy ( U = -m B cosθ ), reaching a stable equilibrium when parallel ( θ = 0° ), with no net force due to field uniformity. Substituting values gives A stable equilibrium position, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence
