When a current-carrying circular loop is replaced by an equivalent magnetic dipole, a point located on the axis of the loop corresponds to the
Options
- Aend-on position
- Bnone of these
- Cbroadside-on position
- Dboth of these
Correct answer
A. end-on position
Step-by-step solution
The magnetic dipole moment of a current-carrying circular loop is directed along its axis.
For a magnetic dipole, a point lying on its axis is referred to as being in the end-on position (or axial position).
Therefore, a point located on the axis of the loop corresponds to the end-on position.
For a magnetic dipole, a point lying on its axis is referred to as being in the end-on position (or axial position).
Therefore, a point located on the axis of the loop corresponds to the end-on position.
