Q.

A small cube of side 1 mm is placed at the centre of a circular loop of radius 10 cm carrying a current of 2 A. The magnetic energy stored inside the cube is α×10-14 J. The value of α is ______. (μ0=4π×10-7 Tm/A, π=3.14)                   [2026]

1 6.28  
2 6.28×10-6  
3 628  
4 6.28×10-4

Magnetic field at centre,   B=μ0NI2R=μ0I2R  (For N=1)

So energy stored,   U=B22μ0×V

U=12μ0×μ02I24R2×(side)3=μ0I28R2×(10-3)3

U=4π×10-7×48×10-2×10-9=6.28×10-14 J
