1.	A current loop in a magnetic fieldA. can be in equilibrium in one orientationB. can be in equilibrium in two orientation both the equilibrium states are unstableC. can be in equilibrium in two orientation one stable while the other is unstableD. experiences a torque whether the field is uniform or non uniform in all orientations.
Answer» Correct Answer - C `vec(tau)= vec(M)xxvec(B)rArr tau=MB sinalpha`. `alpha = 0^@` corresponds to stable equilibrium , `alpha = 180^@` corresponds to unstable equilibrium.
