Magnetic moment of a thin bar magnet is 'M.' If it is bent into a semicircular form, its new magnetic moment will be _________. Fill in the blank with the correct answer from the options given below. |
$M / \pi$ $M / 2$ M $2 M / \pi$ |
$2 M / \pi$ |
Initial magnetic moment is $ M = mL$ Final magnetic moment is $ M' = m\times 2R $ $ L = \pi R \Rightarrow M' = m\times \frac{2L}{\pi} = \frac{2M}{\pi}$ The correct answer is Option (4) → $2 M / \pi$ |
