Question

A circular current loop (with only one turn) has a radius of 4.82
cm and a current of 0.416 A runs through it. It is placed in a region
with a uniform magnetic field of 944 mT. If it is oriented such that its
dipole moment is antiparallel to the external magnetic field, the magnetic
potential energy for the loop is most nearly 

(A) -28 700 µJ.
(B) -2870 µJ.
(C) -2030 µJ.
(D) 28 700 µJ.
(E) 2870 µJ .
