Bar Magnet & Magnetic Moment

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

(i) an equilateral triangle of side 'a'

(ii) A square of side 'a'

The magnetic dipole moments of the coil in each case respectively are:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Triangle of side aa: perimeter 3a3a, so turns N=12a/3a=4N = 12a/3a = 4; area =34a2= \dfrac{\sqrt3}{4}a^2.
  2. M1=4⋅I⋅34a2=3 Ia2M_1 = 4\cdot I\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt3}{4}a^2 = \sqrt3\,Ia^2
  3. Square of side aa: perimeter 4a4a, so N=12a/4a=3N = 12a/4a = 3; area =a2= a^2.
  4. M2=3Ia2M_2 = 3Ia^2
  5. So the answer is (b) 3 Ia2\sqrt3\,Ia^2 and 3Ia23Ia^2.
