NTA Abhyas JEE Main2020PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentPractice
A metallic wire is folded to form a square loop of side a . It carries a current i and is kept perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. If the shape of the loop is changed from square to a circle without changing the length of the wire and current, the amount of work done in doing so is
Options
- AiBa 2 π + 2
- BiBa 2 π - 2
- CiBa 2 4 / π + 1
- DiBa 2 1 - 4 π
Correct answer
D. iBa 2 1 - 4 π
Step-by-step solution
W = U f – U i = - M f B cos 0 o - - M i B cos 0 o = i B A i - A f where A i = a 2 ,A f = π R 2 = 4 a 2 π as 2 π R = 4 a or R = 2 a π ∴ W = i B a 2 1 - 4 π
