A special metal S conducts electricity without any resistance. A closed wire loop, made of S, does not allow any change in flux through itself

by inducing a suitable current to generate a compensating flux. The induced current in the loop cannot decay due to its zero resistance. This current gives rise to a magnetic moment which in turn repels the source of magnetic field or flux. Consider such a loop, of radius a, with its center at the origin. A magnetic dipole of moment m is brought along the axis of this loop from infinity to a point at distance r (>> a)
from the center of the loop with its north pole always facing the loop, as shown in the figure below.
The magnitude of magnetic field of a dipole m, at a point on its axis at distance r, is \(\frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi} \frac{m}{r^{3}}\), where μ0 is the permeability
of free space. The magnitude of the force between two magnetic dipoles with moments, m1 and m2, separated by a distance r on the common axis, with their north poles facing each other, is
where k is a constant of appropriate dimensions. The direction of this force is along the line joining the two dipoles.
The work done in bringing the dipole from infinity to a distance r from the center of the loop by the given process is proportional to
