The figure represents four positions of a current-carrying coil in a magnetic field directed towards the right. $\hat{n}$ represents the direction of the area vector of the coil. The correct order of potential energy is:

  • A
    $I > III > II > IV$
  • B
    $I < III < II < IV$
  • C
    $IV < I < II < III$
  • D
    $III > II > IV > I$
