If a current in a circular loop is equivalently substituted by a magnetic dipole,

Options

  1. Athe distance dd separating the poles is constant
  2. Bthe product mdm d is constant
  3. Cthe pole strength mm for each pole is constant
  4. Dthe ratio md\dfrac{m}{d} is constant

Correct answer

B. the product mdm d is constant

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic moment of a circular loop carrying current II and having area AA is given by M=IAM = IA.

When this loop is equivalently substituted by a magnetic dipole with pole strength mm and separation distance dd, its magnetic moment is given by M=mdM = md.

Equating the two expressions for magnetic moment, we get md=IAmd = IA.

For a given current loop, the current II and area AA are constant. Therefore, the product mdmd must be constant.
