JEE Main & Advanced Physics Magnetism Question Bank Magnet and its Properties

  • question_answer
    A straight wire carrying current i is turned into a circular loop. If the magnitude of magnetic moment associated with it in M.K.S. unit is M, the length of wire will be [MP PET 1999]

    A)            \[4\pi iM\]                            

    B)            \[\sqrt{\frac{4\pi M}{i}}\]

    C)            \[\sqrt{\frac{4\pi i}{M}}\]      

    D)            \[\frac{M\pi }{4i}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Magnetic moment of circular loop carrying current            \[M=IA=I\left( \pi {{R}^{2}} \right)=I\pi {{\left( \frac{L}{2\pi } \right)}^{2}}=\frac{I{{L}^{2}}}{4\pi }\Rightarrow L=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi M}{I}}\]
