A short bar magnet of magnetic moment m=...

A short bar magnet of magnetic moment `m= 0.32 J T^(-1)` is placed in a unifrom magnetic field of 0.15T. If the bar is free to rotate in the plane of the field, which orientation would corresponds to its (a) stable, and (b) unstable equilibrium ? What is the potential energy of the magnet in each case ?
