Q 1 :    

A straight magnetic strip has a magnetic moment of 44 Am2. If the strip is bent in a semicircular shape, its magnetic moment will be ____ Am2 (Given π=227)        [2024]



(28)

Magnetic moment of straight wire M=44 Am2

We know that, pole strength m=MM=m

If r is the radius of semicircle formed by bending the strip of length l, then

πr=r=π

Distance between the poles; 2r=2lπ

Hence, new magnetic moment (M')=m×2r=Ml·2lπ

M'=2Mπ=2×44227=28 Am2
