The magnetised wire of moment \(M\) and length \(l\) is bent in the form of semicircle of radius \(r\). Then its magnetic moment is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{2 M}{\pi}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

On bending a wire its pole strength remains unchanged whereas its magnetic moment changes. New magnetic moment, \( M^{\prime}=m(2 r)=m\left(\frac{2 l}{\pi}\right)=\frac{3 M}{\pi} \)
