Behavior of static axially-symmetric monopole-antimonopole and vortex ring solutions of the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory in an external uniform magnetic field is considered. It is argued that the axially-symmetric monopole-antimonopole chains and vortex rings can be treated as a bounded electromagnetic system of the magnetic charges and the electric current rings. The magnitude of the external field is a parameter which may be used to test the structure of the static potential of the effective electromagnetic interaction between the monopoles with opposite orientation in the group space. It is shown that for non-Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) solutions there is a local minimum of this potential.
