A straight wire carrying a current (I) is turned into a circular loop. If the magnitude of magnetic moment associated with it is 'M', then the length of the wire will be

Options

  1. A4π IM4\pi \text{ IM}
  2. B4πMI\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi M}{I}}
  3. C4πIM\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi I}{M}}
  4. DMπ4I\dfrac{M\pi}{4\text{I}}

Correct answer

B. 4πMI\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi M}{I}}

Step-by-step solution

Let the length of the wire be LL.

When the wire is bent into a circular loop of radius RR, its circumference is equal to the length of the wire:

2πR=L⇒R=L2π2\pi R = L \Rightarrow R = \dfrac{L}{2\pi}

The area of the circular loop is:

A=πR2=π(L2π)2=L24πA = \pi R^2 = \pi \left(\dfrac{L}{2\pi}\right)^2 = \dfrac{L^2}{4\pi}

The magnetic moment MM of the current-carrying loop is given by:

L=4πMIL = \sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi M}{I}}

Answer: 4πMI\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi M}{I}}
