The dipole moment of a circular loop carrying a current I is m and the magnetic field at the centre of the loop is \( B_1 \). When the dipole moment is made three times by keeping the current I same, the magnetic field at the centre of the loop becomes \( B_2 \). The ratio of \( B_1 \) and \( B_2 \) is:

  1. A \( \sqrt{2} : 1 \)
  2. B 2 : 1
  3. C \( \sqrt{3} : 1 \)
  4. D 1 : \( \sqrt{3} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( \sqrt{3} : 1 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( m = I \pi r^2 \Rightarrow r = \sqrt{\frac{m}{I \pi}} \) \( B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2r} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \sqrt{\frac{m}{I \pi}}} = \frac{\mu_0 I^{3/2} \sqrt{\pi}}{2 \sqrt{m}} \) \( B \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}} \) (since I is constant)…
