TS EAMCET · Physics · Magnetic Effects of Current

A circular loop and a square loop are formed from two wires of same length and cross section. Same current is passed through them. Then, the ratio of their dipole moments is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{4}{\pi}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Dipole moments due to current carrying circular wire \(M=i A\) Here, \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{M_1}{M_2} & =\frac{i \pi r^2}{i a^2}=\pi\left[\frac{\left(\frac{1}{2 \pi}\right)^2}{\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^2}\right] \\ & =\pi \frac{16}{4 \pi^2}=\frac{4}{\pi} \end{aligned} \]
