AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

If a current of 15 A passes through a solenoid of length 25 cm, radius 2 cm and number of turns 500, then the magnetic moment of the solenoid is

  1. A \(6 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(3 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(3 \pi \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(6 \pi \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3 \pi \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A = \pi r^2 = \pi (0.02)^2 = 0.0004 \pi \mathrm{~m}^2\) \(M = NIA = 500 \times 15 \times 0.0004 \pi = 3 \pi \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\)
