A uniform conducting wire of length 12a12a and resistance RR is wound up as a current-carrying coil in the shape of,

(i) an equilateral triangle of side aa.
(ii) a square of side aa.
The magnetic dipole moments of the coil in each case respectively are:

Options

  1. A3Ia2and3Ia2\sqrt{3}I{a}^{2}\text{and}3I{a}^{2}
  2. B3Ia2andIa23I{a}^{2}\text{and}I{a}^{2}
  3. C3Ia2and4Ia23I{a}^{2}\text{and}4I{a}^{2}
  4. D4Ia2and3Ia24I{a}^{2}\text{and}3I{a}^{2}

Correct answer

A. 3Ia2and3Ia2\sqrt{3}I{a}^{2}\text{and}3I{a}^{2}

Step-by-step solution

Area of equilateral triangle of side a,

A=12×a×3a2=34a2A = \dfrac{1}{2} \times a \times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}a}{2} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}{a}^{2}

Magnetic moment of each triangle,

m=IA=34a2Im = IA = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}{a}^{2}I

12a12a length of wire will form 44 loops of triangle of side aa.

Magnetic moment of triangle,

M1=Nm=4×34a2I=3Ia2{M}_{1} = Nm = 4 \times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}{a}^{2}I = \sqrt{3}I{a}^{2}

Similarly, magnetic moment of square

M2=Nm=3×(Ia2){M}_{2} = Nm = 3 \times \left(I{a}^{2}\right)

=3Ia2= 3I{a}^{2}
