    The effective length of a magnet is 31.4 cm and its pole strength is 0.5 Am. If it is bent in the form of semicircle, what will be its magnetic moment then?

    A)  0.12 \[A{{m}^{2}}\]

    B)  0.1 \[A{{m}^{2}}\]

    C)  0.05 \[A{{m}^{2}}\]

    D)  0.01 \[A{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    On bending the magnet in the form of semicircle, let diameter of magnet is d. Then, length of magnet \[=\pi \frac{d}{2}\] \[\therefore \] \[31.4=\frac{\pi d}{2}\] or \[d=\frac{31.4\times 2}{3.14}=20\,\,cm\] Therefore, effective length of magnet \[2\,l=d=20\,cm=0.2\,cm\] Hence, its magnetic moment will be \[M=m\times 2\,l\] \[=0.5\times 0.2\] \[=0.1\,A{{m}^{2}}\]
