  1. A M
  2. B 2RMπl
  3. C 2Mπ
  4. D 2πRMl
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2Mπ

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When wire is bent in the form of semicircular arc then, l=πr ∴ The radius of semicircular arc, r=lπ Distance between two end points of semicircular wire =2r=2lπ ∴Magnetic moment of semicircular wire =m×2r=m×2lπ=2πml But ml is the…
