Magnetic moment of a thin bar magnet is 'M'. If it is bent into a semicircular form, its new magnetic moment will be :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 2M/\(\pi\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( M = m L \) \( L = \pi r \implies 2r = \frac{2L}{\pi} \) \( M' = m (2r) = m \left( \frac{2L}{\pi} \right) \) \( M' = (mL) \frac{2}{\pi} = M \frac{2}{\pi} \) \( M' = \frac{2M}{\pi} \)
