MHT CET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A coil of ' \(n\) ' turns and radius ' \(R\) ' carries a current ' \(I\) '. It is unwound and rewound again to make another coil of radius \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{3}\right)\), current remaining the same. The ratio of magnetic moment of the new coil to that of original coil is

  1. A \(3: 1\)
  2. B \(1: 3\)
  3. C \(9: 1\)
  4. D \(1: 9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1: 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As the length of the wire remains the same, we can write
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{N}_1 2 \pi \mathrm{R}=\mathrm{N}_2 \times 2 \pi \frac{\mathrm{R}}{3} \\
& \mathrm{~N}_1=\frac{\mathrm{N}_2}{3} \\
& \mathrm{~N}_2=3 \mathrm{~N}_1
\end{aligned}
\)
\(\begin{array}{ll} & \text { Magnetic moment of coil } \mu=\text { NIA } \\ \therefore & \mu_1=N_1 I A_1=N_1 I \pi R^2 \\ \therefore & \mu_2=N_2 I A_2=3 \frac{N_1 I \pi R^2}{9} \\ \therefore & \frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}=3 \frac{N_1 I \pi R^2}{9} \times \frac{1}{N_1 I \pi R^2}=\frac{1}{3}\end{array}\)
