Assertion (A): A rectangular current loop is in an arbitrary orientation in an external uniform magnetic field. No work is required to rotate the loop about an axis perpendicular to its plane.
Reason (R): All positions represent the same level of energy.
Assertion (A): A current loop in a uniform magnetic field experiences a torque \(\vec{\tau} = \vec{M} \times \vec{B}\). Work is generally required to change its orientation. So, (A) is false. Reason (R): The potential energy of a current loop in a magnetic field is \(U = -\vec{M} \cdot \vec{B}\), which depends on the orientation of \(\vec{M}\) relative to \(\vec{B}\). Thus, not all positions represent the same energy. So, (R) is false. Both (A) and (R) are false.
