A wire of length 4 m carrying current I A is bent in the form of a circle. Its magnetic moment will be:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{4I}{π}$
Given,
$l$, length of wire = 4 m
I, current flowing = IA
M, magnetic moment = N.I.A
where,
N = Number of turns
I = Current (A)
A = area of enclosed loop
Now,
$l$, length of the wire = circumference of the circle
$l=2πr$
$r=\frac{l}{2π}=\frac{4}{2π}=\frac{2}{π}$
Area of enclose loop = $πr^2$
$=π×\frac{2}{π}×\frac{2}{π}$
$=\frac{4}{π}$
$∴M=1.I.\frac{4}{π}$
$M=\frac{4I}{π}$
