JEE Advanced2012PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
A loop carrying current I lies in the x-y plane as shown in the figure. The unit vector k is coming out of the plane of the paper. The magnetic moment of the current loop is
Options
- Aa² I k
- B( 2 +1 ) a² I k
- C- ( 2 +1 ) a² I k
- D(2 +1) a² I k
Correct answer
B. ( 2 +1 ) a² I k
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic moment of a current carrying loop M =N I A Here N=1, A=a²+2 ( a 2 )²=a² [1+ 2 ] From Screw law, direction of m is outward or in +ve z-direction. M =I a² [1+ 2 ] k
