Current Loop as a Magnetic Dipole

The magnetic moments associated with two closely wound circular coils a and b of radius rr and 2r2r respectively are equal if (where Na,IaN_a, I_a and Nb,IbN_b, I_b are number of turns and current in A and B respectively)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. m=NIπr2m = NI\pi r^2.
  2. NaIaπr2=NbIbπ(2r)2N_a I_a \pi r^2 = N_b I_b \pi (2r)^2
  3. NaIa=4NbIbN_a I_a = 4N_b I_b, so the answer is (c).
