Question:

The resultant magnetic moment due to two current (i) carrying concentric coils of radius r, mutually perpendicular to each other will be-

Options:

$\sqrt 2 I\pi r^2$

$\sqrt 2 I r^2$

$\sqrt 2 I\pi r$

$\sqrt 2 \pi r^2$

Correct Answer:

$\sqrt 2 I\pi r^2$

Explanation:

$\text{Magnetic Moment of two coils are equal and perpendicular to each other}$

$ \text{Resultant magnetic moment is } M'=\sqrt 2 M = \sqrt 2 I\pi r^2$
