A bar magnet of magnetic moment M is bent into a semicircular form. Its new magnetic moment will be:

  1. A M
  2. B \( \frac{M}{\pi} \)
  3. C \( \frac{2M}{\pi} \)
  4. D \( \frac{3M}{\pi} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( \frac{2M}{\pi} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Original magnetic moment: \( M = m L \) Length of bar forms a semicircle: \( L = \pi R \) New magnetic moment: \( M' = m (2R) \) Substitute \( R = \frac{L}{\pi} \) into \( M' \): \( M' = m \left( 2 \frac{L}{\pi} \right) \) \( M' = \frac{2 (mL)}{\pi} = \frac{2M}{\pi} \)
