A thin rod of length L has magnetic moment M when magnetised. If rod is bent in a semicircular arc what is magnetic moment in new shape?
Options
- AM L
- BM
- CM 2
- D2 M
Correct answer
D. 2 M
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic moment of rod = M Let r be the radius after bending it into a semicircular arc. The separation between the two ends is 2 r. Here length = circumference of the semicircle i.e., L = r r= L Also M = m L and m = M L aligned M _ new = m (2 r ) & = M L 2 ~L & = 2 M aligned
