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)
- Triangle of side : perimeter , so turns ; area .
- Square of side : perimeter , so ; area .
- So the answer is (b) and .
