A bar magnet having magnetic moment \(M\) is bent as an arc. Its magnetic moment

  1. A decreases
  2. B increases
  3. C does not change
  4. D may increase or decrease
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) decreases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic moment of a bar magnet, \(\mathbf{M}=m(2 \mathbf{l})\) \(=\) pole strength \(\times\) distance between poles When bar magnet is bent as an arc distance between poles decreases whereas pole strength remains same. So, its magnetic moment also, decreases.
